Finmeccanica, one of the largest industrial groups in Italy, is banking on social dialogue and the involvement of employee representatives to better manage restructurings in some units. This unitary framework agreement rearranges the way workers are involved, notably with the creation of a strategic observatory and of a national sectoral observatory. It also defines issues for which guidelines will be negotiated at group level, which will have to be implemented by the companies it controls. (Ref. 130272)
The “Protocol for group competitiveness and for a new industrial relations system” signed on April 16 between Finmeccanica Spa and the Fim-Cisl, Fiom-CGIL and Uilm-Uilm unions lays down the framework define an “information and consultation system using new tools to involve unions in the debate on the group’s strategic and development choices.”
Strategic observatory. The agreement sets up a strategic observatory which will be made up of Finmeccanica’s leader and three national Fim, Fiom and Uilm representatives. It will meet twice a year and it will be where unions are informed of the group’s prospects and strategic choices on issues listed in the agreement, including the economic situation, employment trends, or R&D plans.
