(Finance) – “An unacceptable and incomprehensible attitude on the part of Amazon Logistics and Amazon Transport which alienates workers, implementing questionable conduct made worse by the reply note released yesterday evening made in an attempt to disprove the unions”. This is what is stated in a note Fit-Cisl general secretary, Salvatore Pellecchia, regarding the proclamation of state of agitation for all Amazon Logistics employees and Amazon Transport.
“Having learned the intention not to proceed from January with the provision of the provisions of the renewal of the national Logistics, Goods Transport and Shipping contract – he adds Pellecchia –, together with the other trade union organizations involved, we deemed it necessary to proclaim a state of agitation to protect work and staff rights. The decision appears even more inexplicable considering that it is a multinational that operates in various countries and makes considerable profits, especially in the Italian market. We will therefore continue the mobilization. Instead of taking a step forward, in line with the commitments signed in the presence of the Minister of Labor on 15 September 2021, to discuss and define a supplementary company contract and extend direct participation mechanisms that provide for the involvement of employees in company dynamics, we are implementing an attempt to go back by worsening the employment conditions of workers who should be valued since it is only thanks to their fundamental contribution that company growth and development is based. We make a final appeal to common sense and responsibility on the part of Amazon Logistics and Amazon Transport top management – concludes Pellecchia – asking for a rethink and therefore compliance with the contractual provisions by adjusting salaries as expected”.
