Naples, the Court of Cassation gives reason to CGIL: ASIA Naples condemned

Naples. The Supreme Court of Cassation rules in favor of the CGIL and establishes the right to "level 3" recognition for waste disposal workers who drive compacting vehicles, more commonly known as "gasoloni."

The Court of Cassation on 04 June 2024 ruled by rejecting the appeal filed by ASIA Napoli, against the ruling of the Court of Appeal of Naples which, following the dispute brought by Fp Cgil with the legal assistance of the well-known lawyer Antonio Panico, recognized the worker's right to obtain the 3rd contractual level.

"Despite having been urged in the past to comply with the National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL), which recognized the right of workers who drive vehicles using compaction systems to be classified in Level 3, Asia Napoli chose to continue in court for twelve years," Alfredo Garzi and Maria Manocchio of FP CGIL Napoli stated. "Thus, arriving at today's ruling from the Supreme Court, which also means compensation for the salary differences owed to workers who have been appealing since July 2007."

“The FP Cgil of Naples, claiming the action taken by holding firm to the bar of law without compromising, thanks the workers who in these years have not given up and have gone all the way, obtaining a result that today with the ruling of the Court of Cassation becomes an enforceable right for all those who intend to start the same action.

The FP CGIL is available to all workers who would like to see their rights recognized on a par with their victorious colleagues".
