(Jamma) To the problems deriving from the unification with the Customs (first of all the different economic treatment compared to the colleagues in via Carucci) and the continuous postponements in the payment of a series of indemnities, the amendment to the Approved Fiscal Delegation has now been added yesterday in the Finance Commission. The proposed amendment commits the Government to report, within two months of the entry into force of the Delegation, the status of the mergers envisaged by the Spending Review "also in relation to any regulatory changes". A rule that "Makes one think we want to go back on the merger between Monopolies and Customs" explained Enzo Morucci, of the RSU of Monopolies for the UIL, during the meeting. “The transformation of the Aams is a Penelope canvas”, he continued, recalling that the Spending Review had already reversed the project of creating a Games Agency, which was in an advanced stage under the last Berlusconi government. “If you are going to go back to that project, you will have to face a number of other problems. In the first place that of the redundancies, given that a workforce of 500 people was assumed, compared to the current approximately 2.500 employees”.
There was also a heated debate on economic treatment. On the one hand, the Spending Review provides that the merger between Aams and Customs is at no cost, consequently the employees of the Monopolies receive the same basic salary, but not the same allowances recognized to colleagues of the same rank in the Customs. Equalization would have resulted in higher overall costs of 10 million per year. On the other hand, due to a series of postponements, the employees of Piazza Mastai have not been paid a series of indemnities received up to now, in particular a series of benefits (for around 1 million euros) assigned, for example, as reimbursements to employees who have sigli university students, or to encourage the use of public transport. With the unification, the responsibility for these resources passed from the personnel office of the Monopolies to the central one of the Customs which so far, despite the reminders, has not given the definitive go-ahead. An attitude which, in addition to the economic damage, increases the gap between the employees of Piazza Mastai and those of via Carucci: "Not only are we not recognized the higher indemnities paid to employees of the Customs" Morucci commented again during the meeting, " but we also risk losing those extra benefits”. In fact, the risk is that these resources, if not paid by October, will be allocated to other expenditure specifications and therefore definitively lost.
