On November 14, Alenia Aermacchi signed, with the Fim, Fiom and Uilm unions and the employee representatives of its Grottaglie undertaking (Taranto), an agreement on the organization of labor that is “completely new” in the Italian aviation industry. To face the increase in production and therefore the need to work continuous cycles, working time is reduced and employment increased via a system of a 32-hour week paid 40. The operation’s cost is divided between the workers and the company. Massimo Masat, national Fiom-CGIL representative for the sector, who signed the agreement, tells Planet Labor about its details. (Ref. 130797)
The November 14 agreement on the new organization of working time in the Grottaglie establishment (750 employees), signed between Alenia Aermacchi and the sector’s unions, completes long negotiations on the adoption of a new organization of labor to comply with the deadlines of the fuselage production contract for the Boeing Dreamliner 787-9. The text concerns a trial for working time over 21 weekly shifts divided over 5 teams and the conditions for this system to become “structural” in 2014.
