Condannati i vertici della fondazione per la "messa in libertà" dei dipendenti
"Comportamento antisindacale" Il ricorso scaturì dalle trattenute per il "Faust" saltato
Nel teatro dei veleni si celebra una nuova puntata della guerra tra sindacati e sovrintendente. Secondo il tribunale, il Massimo ha tenuto «una condotta antisindacale»: il presidente della Fondazione, il sindaco Diego Cammarata, e il sovrintendente Antonio Cognata sono stati condannati a pagare 1.500 euro di spese processuali. A judge ordered them to "refrain from repeating such conduct." That's what determined Gianfranco Pignataro, Labour Court, ruling on the appeal filed by the unions that had opposed the decision to put the theater in advance freedom for all workers during the staging of "Faust" with Andrea Bocelli. A pronunciation that is similar to that of Bologna, where it was to be sentenced the former leader of the CGIL Sergio Cofferati. Another blow to the balance of the theater, already shaken by the aggression in Cogne, beaten by two strangers in the house in April last year, and new threats: an envelope containing three bullets.
On 20 March the "Faust" di Gounod non andò in scena per lo sciopero nazionale sui tagli al Fondo per lo spettacolo. Ma due giorni dopo, domenica 22 marzo, saltò anche la replica per la rottura del dialogo tra le organizzazioni dei lavoratori e il sovrintendente Cognata. In occasione della proclamazione dello sciopero nazionale, il consiglio di amministrazione aveva infatti deliberato la messa in libertà di tutti i lavoratori che partecipavano all´opera-concerto. Di fatto, dunque, nessuno avrebbe ricevuto la giornata di paga. «Deliberando la messa in libertà 24 ore prima del Faust Cognata non ha permesso ai lavoratori di scegliere se aderire o no allo sciopero», denunciarono Slc-Cgil, Fistel-Cisl, Uilcom-Uil e Fials Cisal. Una posizione condivisa dal giudice, che writes in the ruling that "the Foundation on the sole ground that such strikes were launched by four trade unions, and that adheres to them more than half of the members of the orchestra, but without further investigation of the expected number of actual accession to the strike , already has ordered the day before the formal release of all the musicians involved in the execution of the show, and then determine, nor be able to give evidence, the concrete existence of the postulated broken and also the provision of any workers who are not strikers. "
A decision according to the judge "did not even allow individual workers to express their agreement or not abstention, weakened the effect of the strike at the roots and eventually cancel the scope. " The actions of the Foundation then took a "detrimental to value the freedom of trade union action." The Labour Court then upheld the appeals filed by attorneys Robert Cross, Piero Vizzini, Alfredo Guido Lo Meo and seal, but the Fondazione Teatro Massimo announced that it will appeal.
Unions sing victory, "is finally recognized what we have on numerous occasions - said Angela Biondi, CGIL, Francis Assisi, CISL, Joseph Tumminia, UIL, and Fausto Patassi of Fials Cisal - the lack of good labor relations. Now we wait for the mayor and Sister we convene to make a point with respect to the attitudes of the past. " But the vice president of the board of directors today announced that Joseph Dell'Aira impugnerà certainly the decision: "We behaved as would any other opera foundation and we have protected the public money and the viewers' interests."
The cancellation of Faust has caused nearly 200 000 euro: one hundred thousand euro for the cachet of the artists and at least 80 000 euro in lost revenue.
