Aktion zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gegen die wirtschaftlichen und politischen Drucke San Benedetto, der italienische Colosso des Getränkes, hat den Gewinner von 120 Mitarbeitern auf einer Gesamtzahl von 10.000 Mitarbeiter beschlossen, eine Prozedur für das Entlassen zu beginnen. Die Maßnahme wird nur bei den Mitarbeitern der Hauptstelle in Scorzé (Venice), die sich um 80% der Mitarbeiter verhältnissen, einschließlich Angestellten und Verwaltungskräften, betreffen. Die Firma berichtet, dass es sich dabei um erhöhte Kosten für Energie und Materialien handelt, sowie um neue Steuerlasten wie die Plastiksteuer und die Zuckersteuer und um einen Prozess der Organisation, der ein größeres Einsatz an Intelligenzelementen impliziert als auch die Transformation und Ausverkauf von bestimmten Dienstleistungen.

The group explained that it wanted to "preserve corporate competitiveness and ensure the sustainability of its own activities over the long term". It has also given an explanation for the cuts in note, blaming the increase in production costs due to rising material prices, energy costs, transportation expenses, especially because of geopolitical tensions internationally, as well as the evolution of European regulatory frameworks with growing concerns about new packaging regulations, particularly the precautionary deposit scheme and the obligation to use recycled plastic (rPET). For trade unions, this situation takes on yet another delicate meaning because it arrives just before the start of negotiations for renewing the integrated contract agreement.

A path that should have opened a new season of competition, improvement of economic conditions and norms, and the valuation of work.

This proclamation has declared that all workers are entering an agitation state, convening for a meeting on November 17th and requesting an urgent meeting with the management to 'open immediately a true dialogue and bring forward all alternative solutions to layoffs'. San Benedetto is currently generating revenue exceeding a billion euros, and it has also confirmed its first place among Italian producers of alcoholic beverages by market share terms, reaching a comprehensive market share percentage of 17.3%. Besides mineral water and cold drinks, within the products produced and marketed by the Venetian company led by Enrico Zoppas, there are Schweppes at the top of the carbonated waters market with a market share of 53.1%, and Energade leading in sports drinks with a 37.4% share.

Make Cisl of Venice, along with colleagues from Cgil and UIL for food categories, consider it unacceptable a level of intervention like this.
