In fact, since it was announced the news of the transfer to Lugano by The North Face, there have been numerous certificates of solidarity that employees have received personally, not only from family and friends, but also by friends or amateurs brand or sport that is targeted.
addition, comments and posts of the various articles published in newspapers and online news sites on the web, most supporters have expressed their sympathy for what happened suddenly to 160 families.
E 'but true that someone has commented on the Transfer of TNF in Lugano as a choice just and necessary (or that merely follows the dictates of business in which companies move), others have criticized the grievances of the employees, accusing them (more or less covertly) of not understanding the possibility of living in a country like Switzerland and to be of ... "Big babies" would say the former minister Padoa Schioppa, or want to work close to home and to have secured the permanent position.
premise is correct that everyone has the chance to express their opinions and thoughts, it is true that better objectivity in judgments is always important to know in detail the situation and the context in which things happen.
Therefore, to better understand the reasons for workers, we begin to set out the numbers.
The people who work at the site of Pederobba are about 160. Of these, about 75% (!!!) are women. Several hold within the organization, leadership roles and / or coordination.
This situation, unique setting on the national scene and specifically the Northeast, is certainly in contrast with what there is in Italy.
In fact, in our country, the female employment rate in October 2009 was 46.6% (ISTAT), well away from the target of 60% set by the Lisbon strategy, and we had to set up a ministry equal opportunities to ensure greater protection of women working in the field, given the diffenze treatment in pay and career than men. Moreover, an
evidenziari many other aspects.
A significant number of employees has a family of his or her spouse and children (many of them very small) and a number have a mortgage or have a rent to pay.
Many have chosen to work in The North Face after having already experienced experiences abroad, eager to return to live close to their loved ones and friends after some time away.
Some of the employees working at the site of Pederobba are foreigners (in particular, there are about 20 different nationalities within the company) who have chosen Italy not only for economic reasons but also for the chance to live in a country they love and that the guarantees of cultural opportunities, environmental, sporting and culinary unlikely to be repeated in other contexts.
is therefore clear that for a person and transfers the decision to Lugano is particularly difficult, given what you should "leave" in terms of family affection and considering the economic impact on household budgets.
How can we cultivate a relationship, job growth and education of their children and taking care of family members maintain interests outside work, if you live 500 km away and you have the chance to go home alone for the weekend (and all NEAC because sometimes you are traveling around the world for trade shows / meetings / events / meetings even on weekends)?
Furthermore, while wanting to make sure what was promised, or that the company offer an adjustment of compensation for what is the standard of living in Switzerland, as will become possible to live in Lugano (paying rent, the cost of utility bills, food, etc..) and simultaneously keep the family in Italy?
Still, it should be noted that not all employees will be made to the economic proposal. In fact, moving to Switzerland, tailor-made to create synergies between the various brands of the group, as a first consequence of the fact that some offices and some figures will be in surplus and, therefore, to their fate is already decided to secure the end of the report and use of social safety nets.
There will workers and for the above reasons or other valid personal reasons will be forced to decline the offer of transfer to Lugano.
Given that the amount of the treatment of wage (read CIGS and mobility) must be approved by a minimum of € 834.55 to a maximum of € 1,003.05 per month, it is clear the economic hardship they suffer.
It should be noted that the Italian economy, like the rest of the world, is experiencing a major crisis (in 2009 it fell by 10% in the production of 24% in exports and 1% in the number of active enterprises, the unemployment rate to 8.3%, 2 million and 4 000 job seekers - Confindustria sources and Istat).
And in this context, negative people will be left at home by The North Face will have to seek new employment.
"TNF is a leader," we are growing, "" we have big goals for the future "," employees are our strength "... these employees have based their even professional choices, their family life and extra-work, their financial obligations.
And since 19 November, like a bolt from the blue, everything รจ cambiato.
A big thanks goes to all the readers of these pages and not only, for the support they are providing us and for the constant encouragement.
In fact, since it was announced the news of the transfer of The North Face to Lugano, many were the signs of solidarity that employees have personally received, not just from family and friends, but also by acquaintances or enthusiasts of the brand or sports to which it addresses. Furthermore, on the comments and on the post of many articles published on newspapers, online papers and information websites, many people expressed their support to what happened to 160 families all of a sudden.
However, it is true that someone has commented upon the transfer of TNF in Lugano as a right and necessary choice (or that anyhow follows the dictates of purely economic contexts in which companies move), others have criticized the remonstrance of employees, accusing them (more or less covertly) not understand the possibility of living in a country like Switzerland and to be ... "Bamboccioni" , how the former minister Padoa Schioppa would call them, in other words to wish to work closer to home and to have a permanent and safe position.
Granted that it is correct that everybody has the possibility to express their opinions and thoughts, it is true that for better objectivity in judgments is always important to know in detail the situation and the context in which things happen.
Therefore, in order to better understand the employees' reasons, we begin to state numbers. People who work in Pederobba are about 160. Of these, about 75% (!!!) are women. Several hold, in this organization, leadership roles and / or coordination.
This situation, more unique than rare on the national scene and in particular on the Northeast, is certainly in contrast with what is recorded in Italy. In fact, in our country the female employment rate in October 2009 was 46.6% (source: Istat), far from the target of 60% set by the Lisbon strategy, and we had to establish a ministry for equal opportunities to ensure greater protection of women in the work market, given the different treatment in pay and career compared to men.
In addition, there are many other aspects to highlight.
A significant number of employees has a family made by a consort or partner and children (many of them very little) and a number has switched a mortgage or a rent to pay.
Many have decided to work in The North Face after having already had experiences abroad, eager to return to live close to their loved ones and friends after spending some time away.
Some employees who work in Pederobba are foreigners (in particular there are about 20 different nationalities in the company) who have chosen Italy not only for economic reasons but also to have the chance to live in a country they love and that provides cultural, environmental, sporting and gastronomical opportunities difficult to find in other contexts.
It is therefore plain that for a person the decision to move to Lugano becomes particularly tough, given what we should "leave" in terms of family and affection, and considering the economic impact on household budgets.
How can you think of cultivating a relationship, job growth and education of children, taking care of family members, keeping extra working interests if you live 500 km away and you have the chance of returning home only for the weekends (and not even every weekend, given that sometimes you are away around the world for trade shows / meetings / events / meetings even on weekends)?
Furthermore, even wanting to make sure what was promised, or that the company will provide an adjustment of compensation for what is the standard of living in Switzerland, how is it possible to live in Lugano (paying a rent, the cost of utility bills, food, etc. .) and at the same time to keep the family in Italy?
Again, it should be highlighted that not all employees will be made to the economic proposal. Indeed, the first consequence of moving to Switzerland, made specifically for creating synergies between different brands of the group, is the fact that some offices and some figures will be in surplus and, therefore, for their fate is already decided by the interruption of the employment relationship and the use of social safety nets.
There will other employees who for the above reasons or for other valid personal reasons will be forced to decline the offer of transfer to Lugano.
Given that the amount of treatment of wage (read Cigs and mobility) goes from a minimum of € 834.55 to a maximum of € 1,003.05 per month, it is plain the economic discomfort they will suffer.
It should be stressed that the Italian economy, like the rest of the world, is experiencing a major crisis (in 2009: down 10% in the production, 24% in exports and 1% in the number of active enterprises, rate unemployment at 8,3%, 2 million and 4 thousand in search of work - sources Confindustria and Istat).
And exactly in this negative context, people who will be left at home by The North Face, will seek a new job.
