NOW WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE 'BENEFITS' OF FORMER AGRICULTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ALL TRUE farm laborers.
BACKGROUND.
Since 2002, the territories of Adrano, Biancavilla and Paterno are born and spread like mushrooms, a series of cooperatives with and without land characterized, in whole or in part, by practice recruitment of farm workers fictitious.
The party phenomenon, pioneered by these municipalities, like all epidemics, then hit hundreds and hundreds of farm laborers, real or assumed, residents across the province.
being understood that a good percentage of these companies was created to benefit from a series of tax and social contribution and move under the law, it is determined that the other party, is characterized , in whole or in part, on assumptions of farm laborers and false declarations of bankruptcy easier.
There are two types of businesses that operate illegally:
- Only those born "to sell" the laborers working days to false and completely escape taxes;
- those which can be competitive in the market for farm workers pay only part of the taxes and sell only part of day laborers to false.
central node.
At the time of disbursement of social security benefits, the INPS has before him a scene like this:
- Unions in good standing;
- Cooperative completely false (In the province of Catania, 19 are those who have asked for a settlement of the sentence);
- Cooperative investigated as part of workers take part of laborers and false historical .
- Cooperative investigated since breached the days authorized. The number of days allocated to the cooperative is determined by the relationship between the spatial extent and the type of cultivation (eg according to the report are assigned a number y to the cooperative of 5,000 days, but instead to assume the co-operative 5,200 days).
WE ARE THE REAL PART OF LABOURERS .
That said, the Movement of Labourers, the fate of companies interested in very little (as long as that account, a tool aimed at creating jobs clean), what is the fate of strongly pressed all historical farm laborers, who are involved, since 2002, in a situation bigger than themselves, without any justification.
laborers involved, real and fake, they would be from 2002 to date, between 5000 and 8000.
only in the first quarter of 2007, the INPS has been canceled (deleted from the lists) 1100 labor relations in the province of Catania.
SOLIDARITY WITH THE JUDICIARY
support and we are in solidarity with the investigations of the judiciary. The market for counterfeit recruitment is for us an insult against the laborer historical figure of the worker who, with their own hands, helped during the boom years of agriculture, while working seasonally, social development and to determine the economic progress of our country. For these reasons, the legislature, recognizing the fundamental role and noting that these could not and can not, for obvious reasons, you work all year round, felt compelled to, give an unemployment allowance for the period of non-work thus ensures the opportunity to meet vital needs.
CAN NOT BE 'DOING THE WHOLE lump
' s Social Security and the Judiciary must, however, note that these surveys cooperative ghost / false laborers, though right and necessary, blocked and continue to benefit the settlements, for several years, even the laborers who historians have actually worked and that, without " in unemployment " are, despite themselves in serious financial difficulties.
should be borne in mind that to fail is not only unemployment benefits, but with it other benefits, such as family allowances, sick pay, maternity pay and paternity leave, and the impossibility to be able to report accidents at work, etc..
How much ALLOWANCE 'UNEMPLOYMENT .
The laborer is entitled to unemployment benefits farm after the second year of enrollment in the master lists of Commons and in any case, if, within two years has reached at least 102 days of work. With 51 days worked during the previous year the laborer is entitled to receive an indemnity equal to 30% of the average annual wage (approximately € 660.00), with 101 days worked shall receive 40% of the average annual wage (approximately € 1570.00) and 151 days worked 66% of the average annual wage (approximately € 2580.00). The special treatment it up to a maximum of 90 days per year.
WHY 'THE MOVEMENT IS BORN OF LABOURERS .
For Adrano Biancavilla and in mid-June, the workers, feeling betrayed by the traditional trade unions (CGIL, CISL and UIL), which have shown little interest in solving this problem, with mass membership have been set up in movement. Based on the experience of struggle put up by the movement of forest and Caltagirone since 2005, have set themselves the goal of making demands, including through actions to protest blatant, their right to social security benefits of previous years.
The Movement, also, merely to stimulate the 'indifference of trade union membership, asked members to remain enrolled in these unions, however, in order to stimulate them in the direction of the positions of struggle that will be taken by the movement itself.
WHAT 'SUCCESS AFTER THE BIRTH OF MOVEMENT
unions confederations, hearing the news of the birth of the movement of laborers, have been struggling to not lose ground and thanks to' authority that belongs to him, arranged a meeting with the Director of INPS Catania, dr. Coci, Tuesday, June 26 last year (after holding a public meeting on Monday 25 to Adrano and where the secretary of FLAI-CGIL, Raia, is been challenged by members of the farm workers movement). During this meeting, attended by the spokesman of the Movement of Adrano, N. Lombardo and to Biancavilla, A. The Delphi has spoken only of the unemployment allowance for the current year and that he is committed to ensuring the INPS 'payments within the month of July.
the evening of Wednesday, June 27, he would have taken a 'public meeting in Castle Square to Adrano for reporting on the meeting held INPS, but just before the start of the meeting, hundreds of laborers of movement, led the assembly in the inevitability a peaceful occupation the town hall in order to involve the Mayor over the issue of past performance.
And so, about 300 peasants have occupied the city council Adrano, despite the resistance of eyelashes and CISL.
at the Employment and speeches by the mayor who has shown solidarity with the demands of the laborers, and secretaries of the CGIL and CISL in the meantime decided to join the meeting.
To indicate the way forward are the representatives of the movement, which after analyzing the problems of the laborers, have emphasized the need for a meeting in the Prefecture, with the Prefect and the Director of INPS, in order to focus their attention the problem of the previous allowance.
Stockholders' Meeting, to unanimity, accept this proposal by the Mayor and get the material means for the meeting in the Prefecture, the same set for Friday, 06/29/2007 at 12.00.
The meeting in Catania Prefecture, attended by the Deputy Prefect, Director of INPS, the Mayor of Adrano, trade unions (CGIL, CISL and UIL) and the Movement of the laborers, it serves to clarify two important issues for the sector laborers:
-
that unemployment benefits, this year, despite the delays associated with the new technology programs, will be paid to all laborers on the lists of birth, the month of July;
-
that the problem of unemployment benefits past, to recognize the true laborers (2003-2004-2005-2006), had never been addressed.
If in respect of unemployment this year, a theme that was not on the agenda, the commitment made by the Director of INPS Dr. Catania Coci to leave altogether satisfied (Although with INPS there never to be trusted), the same can be said not all about 'unemployment benefits past, the situation is more serious than imagined.
Dr. Coci listed the reasons for the 'Social Security, arguing that workers who now claim allowances carried forward have been made aware of the impediments that hinder the payment for some time and therefore, could and can raise the matter in court and enforce the law, they say, is being denied.
The Director then concluded, contradicting himself, that 's Social Security, when notified of an investigation in progress (by the Labour or the judiciary), about the ethics of a company, it must block the payment of unemployment benefits, but to disallow the day, you should wait about 3 years, the time that the final sentence, so a ghost company can continue to use labor undisturbed fictitious and / or ignorant laborers can work really true then not benefit from social security benefits.
The paradox immediately jumps to the eye:
1) the employee will receive compensation at the end of the investigation, provided it is able to prove the employment relationship;
2) the company or cooperative, though fictitious, you continue to give their consent to operate until the final sentence;
3) the true laborer who works regularly with a firm of which ignores his being fictional, it gives consent to continue to work but not receiving unemployment.
NOT PU0 'fire on everyone. WE DO NOT ACCEPT JUSTICE OPERATIONS SUMMARY .
confirm the need for the Judiciary will continue to conduct investigations aimed at destroying the cancer at the root of the phantom firms, However, we can not wait for the timing, necessary investigative bodies.
Would not it be more useful and, above all, faster than carry out the same period in which companies declare the presence of labor in a particular field?
We believe that is one thing to reject the false laborers rights do not occur, another, more serious, is to refuse to genuine workers' social security benefits, constitutionally recognized.
The legislature has provided for unemployment benefits in agriculture, considered as a social safety net: an allowance that is assigned to those who are part of the year without work, and then, without pay, to replace it with the pay and provide for the maintenance of the vital needs.
If we reflect on this concept we understand how crucial the absence of a subsidy for the socio-economic already unstable.
NOW WE WANT THE ALLOWANCE 'PREVIOUS
reaffirm solidarity with the judiciary and all organizations in various capacities are working on cooperative investigations of ghost / false laborers, we are confident that, although perfect good faith, INPS is committing an abuse of power in continuing not to pay unemployment benefits to laborers true.
The timely delivery of unemployment benefit laborers is a right that can not be postponed, as such, for any reason, including suspicion, can be honored during a period other than that set by law.
The satisfaction of basic needs during the period of lack of work, not a whim required by law in favor of a farm laborer, but an inalienable right which must be respected in the stage of need and need. Dispense the allowance in a period other than that provided by the legislature, it means breaching the very reasons the institution indemnity.
In conclusion, the failure to provide unemployment benefits for the laborer is a serious and economically irrisarcibile .
If due to a lack of resources coming from leaving unemployment, can not send this summer, her son the lessons of recovery, the damage will not only be economic and therefore, sustainable in another occasion when will have the money equivalent to 2 or 3 years of unemployment benefits, but the ball in question will jeopardize the basic rights of every citizen.
If the damage to the hired hand has two sides, economic and social in general, for the INPS, but it's kind of purely economic. The INPS not paying social security benefits in fact defending a priori (without evidence that the certainty of the crime), a legal interest, in any case, could, if improperly pay, get it back through their forced return, with sanctions and interests.
A competing interest is not entitled to interest at the corner a social!
The laborers are entitled to claim the allowance immediately prior.
proposal of the Movement
-
blocked immediate payment of pension benefits to all laborers.
-
interim measure against the INPS. The time required is approximately 3 months. Useful documents are payroll, cud, quarterly reports, spreadsheet hiring and firing.
