Catania, EnergetikAmbiente workers strike without salary. Dusty: “We can’t intervene”

by admin

Tomorrow Friday 28 May, starting at 8 am, the workers of EnergetikAmbiente will strike abstaining from the service except for the essential one, and will protest in Piazza Università alongside FP Cgil and Fiadel Cisal against the defaults of the company currently in extraordinary administration, but also against DUSTY, which despite being the winner of a municipal public tender and owner of environmental hygiene services for the city, chooses not to protect workers.

EnergetikAmbiente already in recent months had declared that it could not pay its employees the fees that were suspended on 17 March.

The defaults of EnergetikAmbiente have actually caused incalculable damage to the 250 workers who, according to the unions, should be protected by the Dusty company.

The workers immediately complained about the failure to pay the financial installments of the salary transfers withheld from the workers, the failure to pay the union deductions of the workers to the trade unions, the failure to pay the meal vouchers, the failure to register with the FASDA Fund (supplementary health service) and the payment of the relative quotas, as well as the non-payment of the severance pay to the Previambiente Complementary Fund (from June 2020 to today) of the holidays, the ROL, the canceled holidays, the installments of 13th and 14th month.

Dusty’s answer

The director of Dusty Rossella Pezzino de Geronimo expresses his solidarity for “the understandable economic hardships to which the workers who are in the workforce of Energetikambiente have been exposed” and responds to the protests against the company reiterating that “unfortunately it is the law that prevents Dusty from providing for the non-payments of the sub-contractor company to the employees, therefore the strike announced in the press by CGIL Catania is objectively unmotivated and contra legem ».

“This is not a” choice not to protect “the workers, as was unjustly declared by the unions, but Dusty’s real condition of not being able to intervene in compliance with the fundamental principle of law of par condicio creditorum” says Rossella Pezzino de Geronimo , clarifying that “in compliance with current legislation, the non-compliance of Energetikambiente must be managed by the judicial bodies of the insolvency procedure, specifically the Bankruptcy Section of the Court of Milan, and no third party, including Dusty, can interfere, as the unions already know” .
The strike and the protest demonstration scheduled for tomorrow (May 28) in Piazza Università – followed by the trade union assemblies called for May 29 and 31 – “in fact represent an action against the city because the hardships of an already wounded community will increase. and painful, not only for environmental problems but also from the point of view of containing the pandemic ».

On May 3, Dusty participated in a meeting called by the prefecture of Catania which was also attended by the same unions. On that occasion, the current extraordinary commissioner of Energetikambiente Francesco Perrini, appointed by the Ministry of Economic Development, proposed and then assumed the commitment to ask the Court of Milan – the only body delegated in this case to take decisions – for authorization to to settle the debts relating to the positions of the employees and a reply from the same is expected shortly, in any case no later than 15 June. On the other hand, the active commitment of the extraordinary commissioner has already materialized with the confirmation that the workers of Energetikambiente will receive the fourteenth.

“We believe – concludes Rossella Pezzino de Geronimo – that only trusting the commissioner is the effective solution to the problems exposed, rather than feeding useless forms of protest aimed at creating discomfort and monstrous disservices to the entire innocent citizenship”.
