IThe Labour Court of Nola (NAPLES) has ruled that the suspension of redundancy payments, from July 2014 to July 2015, for 23 workers in the FCA logistics department in Nola was unlawful, as the agreement did not specify "the selection criteria" for rotation, also ordering compensation for the difference in pay for the blue collars. The Labour Court of Nola, Daniela Ammendola, has in fact accepted the appeal presented by the lawyers of Slai Cobas, Arcangelo Fele and Daniela Sodano, in which the blue collars registered with the grassroots union requested, among other things, the ascertainment of "the unlawfulness of the continuation of the redundancy payments of the workers, to complete the company reorganisation process only partially realised in the previous two years, as well as the related 'defects' both in the procedure and in the subsequent trade union agreement for joint examination". In the ruling, the Labour Judge underlines that "in the case of CIGS for the implementation of a corporate restructuring, reorganisation and reconversion programme that involves a temporary surplus of personnel, the measure is illegitimate if the employer fails to define the specific criteria for identifying the workers who must be suspended", adding that "from the examination of the company communication of the opening of the CIGS and the subsequent agreement between FCA and the unions of 10 July 2014, it appears evident that the criterion on the basis of which the workers to be progressively employed will be identified is not adequately detailed".
