We consider it unacceptable that the companies EAV, AIR CAMPANIA and ANM without any confrontation with the trade unions have unilaterally decided to change the organization of work and shifts of LPT employees on the days of 25 December and XNUMX January which are considered for remuneration purposes and regulatory like Sundays. There are very specific agreements that regulate the matter is we will not allow the president of the Campania Region to cancel them with a flick of the finger.
We will follow the evolution of the story in the coming weeks to understand if the situation will change or the decision will remain that of extending the service.
