Settore chimico-farmaceutico, firmato l’avviso comune

15 febbraio 2018 – rassegna.it

Siglato da sindacati e aziende. L’intesa dà seguito al Patto per innovazione, produttività, occupabilità e responsabilità sociale. Il piano riguarda l’istituzione di un fondo bilaterale di solidarietà, attivato su scelta volontaria di lavoratori e imprese

Farmindustria, Federchimica and trade union organizations (Filctem Cgil, Femca Cisl and Uiltec Uil) have found the solution to facilitate the entry into the world of work for many young people by responsibly guaranteeing generational turnover and the active aging of workers. That's the goal of the common notice that was signed, following the process envisaged by the “Pact for innovation, productivity, employability and social responsibility” signed on 17 October 2017 and in line with the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement on contractual welfare, balancing work/professional needs, training, income support. The parties give the news, in a joint note.

The project is about the establishment of a bilateral solidarity fund, activated on the voluntary choice of workers and companies in the sector, managed by INPS following the publication of the founding decree by the Ministries of Labor and the Economy. The fund, first in Italy of its kind, provides benefits that can be combined with each other and concerning all workers, including managers, in order to: disburse an extraordinary allowance for income support to workers who meet the requirements for old-age or early retirement in the following five years; ensure workers additional benefits, with respect to those provided for by law, in the event of voluntary termination of the employment relationship; contribute to the financing of training programs for professional retraining or retraining.

Ancora una volta le associazioni di categoria e i sindacati dei settori chimico e farmaceutico “presentano una proposta fortemente innovativa, che conferma la qualità del sistema delle relazioni industriali – spiegano -. L’istituzione del fondo rappresenta, infatti, un altro importante tassello per la tutela dei lavoratori e per rendere il settore sempre più innovativo e competitivo a livello internazionale in uno scenario di veloci e profonde evoluzioni tecnologiche e scientifiche. A socially responsible approach, dictated not by contingent crisis situations, but by the awareness that concrete tools are needed to face the rapid changes that the digital and technological revolution imposes, with the inclusion of new professional figures and new skills“, concludono.

The project concerns the establishment of a Bilateral Solidarity Fund, activated on the voluntary choice of workers and companies in the sector, managed by INPS following the publication of the founding decree by the Ministries of Labor and the Economy.

The Fund, the first of its kind in Italy, provides benefits that can be combined with each other and concerning all workers, including managers, in order to:

disburse an extraordinary allowance for income support to workers who meet the requirements for old-age or early retirement in the following five years;
ensure workers additional benefits, with respect to those provided for by law, in the event of voluntary termination of the employment relationship;
contribute to the financing of training programs for professional retraining or retraining.

The objectives of this Fund consist in coping with the innovation processes of companies which tend to expel older workers with the risk that they do not have the conditions to be able to access retirement and to also be able to favor generational turnover.
