Ducati, Covid Fund for 600 workers

Ducati Motor – as stated in a note Ansa – will request the intervention of the Covid Wage Supplement for May and June, for about 600 production workers, which will be used if necessary for days to govern any production stoppages: an agreement signed by Fim-Fiom-Uilm of Bologna, together with the company RSU, provides – explains Fiom – that in the days of production stoppage, in addition to the payment of the redundancy allowance, the workers involved will be granted a wage supplement of 15 euros per day. Some 300 workers hired on a fixed-term contract after 23 March, however, are excluded from coverage by the Covid fund: for this reason a salary coverage mechanism has been agreed, to be paid by Ducati Motor, guaranteeing the payment of a share equal to the allowance of the redundancy fund, in addition to the salary supplement of 15 euros

The proposal also provides for the extension until June 30 for all contracts expiring at the end of May and the possibility, if the production conditions exist, to voluntarily recover any days of production stoppage by extending the duration of the term contract. due to lack of material. The Covid emergency is putting the supply chain of the automotive and motorcycle sectors in difficulty, notes Fiom, and in particular the supply aimed at Ducati Motor Holding, which already in April imposed the need to foresee production stops with use of negative flexibility mechanisms. Moreover, the union underlines, 2021 is proving to be very positive for the volumes of orders for Ducati’s two-wheelers: proof of this is the need to take on an additional 300 contracts determined during the high season, which are in addition to the 300 that each year Ducati is hiring to cope with the production peak at the beginning of the year, which in 2021 further increased by about 6 thousand bikes compared to the budget of the same year.
