The bank in Meda Square signed an agreement with Fabi, Uilka, Fisac, First and Unisin. The package is in addition to the 500 resignations already made, which have already been compensated for by the first part of new recruitment. In addition, 350 people will be hired, of which 100 will be on fixed-term contracts. The bonus can be converted into 5 days of vacation.
At Banco BPM, the union table regained unity, with an agreement reached on recruitment, retirement, production bonuses, health insurance and social benefits, even after Fabi Secretary General Lando Maria Sileoni called for union unity in the interest of the trade unions. Workers have been offered security for months, especially against the possibility of resignation, through internal careers, harmonization of social benefits and one of the most anticipated performance bonuses. All five trade unions (Fabi, Unisin, Uilka, Fisac and First) signed, but communication took place through different channels and in different formats. The negotiations continued in the last few days and reached a conclusion within a week. This put an end to a front that had not been resolved for many months, at least six months. For many reasons, the first case was found in trade union relations that had experienced a period of tension, passing through Abi for cooling-off procedures and even going to court in Milan to try to restore the solidarity table. On the one hand, there are Fabi and Unisin ready to enter into dialogue, and on the other hand, the federal acronyms (Urca, Fisac, First), who argued for the number of settings and other issues.
Hirings and departures:
A statement in Fabi’s independent paper said that the withdrawal plan was set out by the reorganization and agreement of the union table. Assuming that the Solidarity Fund has 1,100 fully voluntary members, the agreement provides for the recruitment of 550 people, to which is added the recruitment of 150 already made (113 from March to October this year and another 37 from November 1 to December 31). These are partial replacements for 500 resignations, promoted and carried out at the initiative of the bank without the agreement of the trade unions. Additionally, the company has committed to employing an additional 250 employees on training contracts by December 31, 2025. There is also an obligation to hire 100 temporary employees. This takes into account the total of 1,600 resignations anticipated in the Industrial Plan (500 due to retirement and 1,100 due to the Solidarity Fund). According to a statement from Uilca, the number of hires could reach up to 1,100, and the certification is expected to be completed by January 9. This takes into account all hiring, including those hired on a contract basis and only with the bank’s obligation to replace employees who leave within 12 months of joining. It also takes into account the reintegration into the professional ranks of 200 employees from the headquarters, who must be allocated to the network.
