Popolare di Bari, who dreams of the cancellation of the Rome agreement of 10 June 2020
Facts and indiscretions on clumsy attempts to challenge the union agreement for the rescue of Banca Popolare di Bari
In the myriad of abstrusities written on the Popolare di Bari, one deserves particular attention. There are those who dream of the cancellation of the trade union agreement signed in Rome, at the Invitalia headquarters, on June 20, an agreement to avoid the bankruptcy of the bank, also saved with public money and the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund, and the consequent dismissal of thousands of workers. According to some parties, the agreement, signed by all the union coordinators of the bank and by their respective general secretaries, would be canceled due to an alleged verbal attack perpetrated by a general secretary, present at the meeting, against a coordinator of a other organization.
From the partial recording published by a daily newspaper in Foggia, it is clear that the secretary general called into question did not intend to censor anyone, but asked the coordinator of the other organization to let “his” secretary general speak. In fact, the negotiations had been going on for months and that meeting would have served only for a reading of the text, presented by the bank, containing all the agreements reached by all the corporate and national components.
From Foggia some articles of the civil code are cited and a whole series of considerations tending to demonstrate the indemonstrable. Now, given that no one has been forced to sign the agreement, the full recording of the meeting is in the hands of both the bank represented by the commissioners and other people present at the signing that to protect themselves, imagining jokes of all kinds, they recorded the entire meeting with all the interventions of those present.
At the appropriate time, the full registration, according to StartMag , will be handed over to the magistrates. It is worth specifying that any action for the cancellation of any contract, as provided for by the civil code, can be exercised within five years, but an agreement vitiated by violence can be canceled when a party is "forced" to sign because a another threatened her physically (example: "if you don't accept I'll kill you" or psychologically ("if you don't sign I'll ruin you", "if you don't sign I'll tell everyone that you stole"). These are the cases of cancellation for violence. all the employees of the Popolare di Bari know perfectly well, none of this has happened. However, there are those who continue to tell and write about everything, perhaps because they chase other interests or to try to hide promotions from the bank workers. "Thanks" to those trade unionists who for years have often fought the absurd management of the bank with water guns or confetti.
After the signing in Rome on 10 June 2020, the company coordinations of all the trade unions of the Popolare di Bari have jointly disseminated numerous leaflets of clarification and information regarding the text of the agreement signed with the commissioners, the result of months of negotiations in video conference between all the corporate representatives of the bank and the commissioners themselves. Just to guarantee truly correct and transparent information, StartMag came into possession of all the press releases of the company unions, which communicated the results of the "checks" to the bank employees (six meetings were held via video conference, provided for by the agreement of the 10 June 2020). Why does the Foggia newspaper talk about the cancellation of the agreement if six verification meetings have been held since 10 June 2020? And again: why none of the company unions in these six meetings complained that an organization would be forced to sign?
One last consideration: the competent court for the lawsuit announced by Fabi to a Foggia newspaper is the court of Bari and not of Foggia. According to StartMag, Fabi allegedly filed a libel suit against a Foggia newspaper not for the partial published recording of the June 10 meeting in Rome, but for a previous article in which the general secretary of an organization was defamed. However, those who live will see and those who made a mistake will pay, even economically. Soon there will be sensational news, according to industry sources.
