Trade unions Fp-Cgil, Cisl-Fp, Uil-Pa and Fialp-Cisal requested an urgent clarification on the employment status of 4000 Red Cross employees. In October 2013, the government changed the organisation’s status from a public entity to one covered by private law.
Trade unions Fp-Cgil, Cisl-Fp, Uil-Pa and Fialp-Cisal requested an urgent clarification on the employment status of 4000 Red Cross employees. In October 2013, the government changed the organisation’s status from a public entity to one covered by private law. The change of legal status put into question the employment status of the employees, as well as going accompanied by rumours of an upcoming restructuring. Communications about the faith of the 4000 workers, including 1500 on temporary contracts, have been contradictory. As bilateral talks and two days of mobilisation on 31 March and 4 April have failed to clarify the matter, the unions have threated further strike action if no comprehensive response from the ministry if forthcoming.
