Fim, Fiom, Uilm: 'We will not accept disparities. The Government should act immediately '(ANSA)


"On the basis of the uncertain recent government provisions, in these hours

some national and multinational companies are proceeding without comparison with unilateral initiatives on a fundamental point for female workers

: the right to health and safety in the workplace and access to canteens.

We will never accept any inequality of treatment between workplaces and canteens

". Thus in a joint note Fim Fiom and Uilm on the use of the

green pass in canteens

. The lack of regulatory clarity is "unacceptable", they say, "clarity" is needed: "the government acts immediately before the situation becomes uncontrollable". 

"The canteens are a workplace and are protected by employment contracts", underline the blue overalls of CGIL, CISL and UIL. "We read company press releases that impose or allow companies that supply food in canteens to impose - on the basis of a government faq, which has no legislative value - the questioning of access to canteens for all male and female workers", highlights the note. "Fim Fiom and Uilm share the goal of completing the vaccination campaign and continuing to guarantee safety in the workplace but they consider these initiatives to be in contrast with the spirit of discussion and participation that during the first phase of the pandemic determined the writing of protocols national and corporate to reduce the risk of contagion from Covid-19 in the workplace.The right to health and safety in the workplace - they underline - is essential; therefore it is necessary to continue to apply the existing protocols in a serious and rigorous way, starting from the distancing, the use of protection and tracking devices. In compliance with the direction of the scientific community, but in the absence of legislative measures, Fim Fiom and Uilm promote an information campaign on the need for vaccination to combat the pandemic and ask for a discussion on how to support and pursue this goal with business and government ".use of protection and tracking devices.

"We deem unacceptable the lack of regulatory clarity and the confusion generated by government communication in the absence of clear measures, with the risk of generating disputes, discrimination, differences in treatment on such delicate matters. We respond to unilateral initiatives by companies - the trade unions conclude - bargaining and with the request to convene the Covid committees in each company, because rights cannot be put in opposition but solutions must be found that reduce the risks in the workplace to a minimum. Constant tracking through tampons charged to companies guarantees the green pass for workers. To fight the pandemic we need collective and individual responsibilities,but also of solutions that do not divide and discriminate the workers in the company. Now is the time for clarity towards female and male workers, the Government should act immediately before the situation becomes uncontrollable ".
