Cisl Ferrara together with the territorial categories FIT (Transport and Environment Federation) and FEMCA (Chemistry and Energy Federation) of Ferrara are holding, in these days, assemblies addressed to the workers of AREA and CMV to update them on the progress of the merger project. In our opinion, the aggregation plan between the two companies Area and Cmv, outlined in 2014, aims at an ambitious goal that, if it respects the essential conditions, will allow this new MULTIUTILITY both to keep the contract of the hygiene-environmental service in trust for a further 15 years, and an employment stability that will even aim at new hirings, as declared by the competent institutions.
A project that intersects waste and energy, which currently sees the participation of 22 municipalities of Ferrara, with the hope according to CISL, FIT and FEMCA of Ferrara, that the Municipality of Ferrara will also be involved. We are firmly convinced that in such a delicate moment for our country, an aggregation project could allow a MULTIUTILITY of this size to better withstand the challenges of the market.
The essential conditions to be guaranteed – according to CISL, FIT and FEMCA of Ferrara – are:
1. maintaining jobs with the same protections as today, therefore with the correct application of the relevant CCNL;
2. the confirmation of existing fixed-term contracts, perhaps converting them to permanent contracts with the application of the new rules, thus guaranteeing good employment for temporary workers and at the same time allowing the Multiutility to benefit from the related government tax breaks;
3. guarantee efficient services to citizens at low costs, which affirm the social equity of public service throughout the province of Ferrara;
4. offer existing services integrated with new services (such as PAP – door-to-door) that promote new production chains, therefore more waste recycling and energy renewal activities.
As CISL, FIT and FEMCA of Ferrara we are waiting to get into the merits of the project, to make a careful analysis of the Industrial Plans that will be provided to us at the next meeting with the institutions and the Companies involved scheduled for June 3rd. Only with data and numbers in hand, with established times and methods could we get into the merits of the discussion and understand the "goodness" of the project and the true corporate mission; ready to share a framework agreement that contains all these assumptions.
