Gkn: Fiom appeal upheld, dismissal letter revoked

(ANSA) - FLORENCE, 20 SEPTEMBER - The Court of Florence has expressed itself in favor of the appeal presented by Fiom-Cgil against the dismissals of the Gkn of Campi Bisenzio, revoking the opening letter of the collective dismissal procedure.

    The labor judge, to which Fiom had addressed last July 30 filing an appeal for anti-union behavior pursuant to Article 28 of the Workers' Statute, sentenced Gkn Driveline Firenze to "revoke the opening letter of the procedure pursuant to Law 223/91 ", and" to put in place the consultation and comparison procedures envisaged by art. 9 part one of the CCNL and by the company agreement of July 9, 2020 ".

    According to the court ruling, "the ascertained anti-union behavior consisted, in its most significant and damaging part of the interests of the current union, in having prevented the union itself from speaking, as it would have been right, in the delicate phase of forming the decision to proceed to the total cessation of the business activity. The removal of the effects of this behavior can only imply the obligation for the company to correctly renew the information omitted and, as a further and necessary consequence, the obligation to revoke the procedure pursuant to Law no. 223 / 91 started on the basis of a decision taken in the absence of a confrontation, which is necessary even if not binding, with the trade union ".
