On May 3 and 5, 2016, elections were held to renew the union representation at "Felisi sas." This is the largest leather goods company in the Ferrara area, primarily producing high-quality women's handbags, with a strong focus on the Asian market.
Over 60 employees work there (almost all women), and until now our union had never had the opportunity to have delegates. Over the past two years, we've managed to become increasingly representative, leading to this renewal, which allowed us to nominate a worker highly respected by her colleagues, who received over 30% of the votes.
We therefore thank the new delegate Stefania Gennari and our members and supporters who made this excellent result possible. Today marks the beginning of a new experience for Stefania, and she will be supported, as is our history, by a union that will provide her with all the necessary training and support to best represent her colleagues.
