Thus Fp Cgil, Cisl Fp, Uilpa and Cisal Fialp in a note, explaining that "the videoconferencing meeting between the management of Fit and the national union representatives of employees ended yesterday evening".
The unions underline how, "for the first time in the history of the Italian national sports movement, in a condition of absolute and dramatic social emergency, a sports federation decides 'motu proprio' to put all its employees in cassaintegration, without taking into account the relevant arguments put forward by the trade unions during the discussion ". Trade unions which, it should be noted, "have all expressed strong opposition to the" cig "for about 110 employees".

Binaghi's reply
"What Federtennis is today is a war budget: we have suspended all contracts, from the largest to the smallest. Corrado Barazzutti, Nicola Pietrangeli and Sergio Palmieri are not paid either." Federtennis President Angelo Binaghi, on the phone with ANSA, thus answers the unions. "We are the Federation that most of all self-finances, the percentage is 87% - adds Binaghi - Therefore, now we are the one that suffers the most. Without the Internationals and other revenues, we have blocked everything".
