Unique internal agreement, no threshold for accessing the bonus. From Monday early shifts to avoid heat and water supplies
IF I SAY. A thousand euro premium in the September pay slip which could become 1,300 if the financial forecasts are maintained at the close of the financial statements on 31 August next. The agreement signed between the MSWs and the management of Hpo Polaris Aligroup of Sedico is innovative and unique of its kind. An agreement that, for the first time in the province, recognizes a fixed bonus to all employees, without being linked to any particular production objective or employee attendance.
Polaris has about a hundred workers who produce refrigerated cabinets and tables, cold rooms and blast chillers for use in delicatessens, pastry shops, ice cream parlors, pizzerias, bakeries, restaurants.
“In the first wave of the pandemic”, specifies the secretary of Fiom Cgil, Stefano Bona, who counts the only delegates present at the production site, “the factory was closed for two months, then it resumed activity even if it suffers from the fact that companies he works for have been closed for some time or have been penalized for a long time by the health emergency. Now demand has risen again, and forecasts for this year are good. However, two critical issues remain: on the one hand the cost of raw materials has increased and on the other hand there is the difficulty of procuring from suppliers who, having no more warehouse, are now discharged of material and recover it, with the great demand that is game, they are in crisis and response times are getting longer ».
Despite all this, Polaris “wanted to give due recognition to workers for the role played in such a difficult phase,” says Bona, “confirming the strategic role of employees also in the management of protocols against the pandemic. So the company immediately said yes to the requests of the RSU for financial recognition ».
In the meantime, from Monday the summer timetable will start at Polarsi so the shift will start at six and end it at 15 to avoid the great heat. And the company will guarantee water supplies for employees as agreed. pda
