Ita, Lufthansa asks for judicial guarantees. Uphill negotiation
There negotiation for the transfer of Ita Airways to Lufthansa it gets complicated. In fact, the Germans are alarmed by the disputes of former employees Alitalia they ask the hiring. Now – we read in Repubblica – there is a boulder on the road to the sale. The German company is frightened by the overs 1,147 work cases hanging over Ita’s head. These are the lawsuits that – between Rome, Milan and some foreign courts – have been filed i employees of Alitalia in redundancy fund. People determined to be hired from the new tricolor vector (which is Ita, in fact). The thesis of the appellants is clear: Ita would not be a completely new company, as it wants to believe. Instead, it would operate in continuity with Alitalia. So he should take charge of his former employees.
During the negotiation with the ministry of economy – continues the Republic – Lufthansa it was clear. He demands that the State set aside and set aside tens and tens of millions to compensate the employees of Alitalia winners of the cases (possibly) in one of the three levels of judgement. Lufthansa’s request alarms the Ministry of Economy which has taken a first countermeasure. He suggested a change in union relations to Ita. Lufthansa now let the unions understand that even people in litigation against Ita can be hired in 2023, when the carrier will recruit beyond 1200 people between captains, pilots and flight attendants. Thus, the ruling that was in place up to now will fall. Until now, those who were in Italy were not hired judicial dispute. It could be a turning point in the negotiation or turn out to be yet another boomerang for the Italian flag carrier.
