Here is an excerpt from an article published June 1, 2006 by the newspaper "Liberation" (organ of the Communist PRC)
Alberto Tripi is a former IBM manager, is among the first to invest in call center that spread across the country since the '90s, where contracts parasubordinated proliferate. In 2004 the Roman businessman was awarded by the Telecom Finsiel, and enters the market for procurement of e-government. Vince contracts billionaires: the computer systems of the State Railways, the full commission for the National Services Card (50 million euro), the management of information systems for the Treasury in the state budget and that of the half million employees of 30 Central government (18 million euro) and then a research contract with the National Research Council, in addition to contracts won by telephone centers (call centers Alitalia, Fiat, Sky, Wind, Telecom) and the newest acquisition of Actalis leader in the field of certification digitali.Gare the Roman businessman can win thanks to a shrewd lobbying process and its close political contacts. The call center is called Arese In Action, after the company formed in 2002 by Fiat Auto. Provides services for CRM (customer relationship management) for both Fiat and for the external market. In 2003, the Lingotto has sold 50.1% of the group Action in Cos Alberto Tripi. Lavoranoin most project workers or temporary, they go where Cos commands. They work four hours a day and are paid at piece rates based on the number of calls handled, 500-600 € a month without holidays and without disease. A pittance. Alberto Tripi is very close to the center right and the center left. Relations with the old government, in particular the former Minister Stanca innovation, are more than cordial: Stanca and Tripura are two ex-IBM. to Finsiel The Board, moreover, the "king of the call-center, sports leading figures: Andrea Monorchio, former accountant general of the State (who already knows them to Finsiel assigned the job of computer system in your office); Sandro Bicocchi, former general manager of CDO ; Alessandro Ovi, former IRI ; engineer Paolo Vigevano former political adviser to the Minister Stanca . But the "affinity" Tripi policies are directed at the left: the entrepreneur is very close to Prodi (in '96 it was his present location to accommodate the Olive Tree in Piazza Santi Apostoli Union) and in particular feeds a sympathy Mrs Linda Lanzillotta , Minister for Regional Affairs, Margherita. Tripura is also a big piece of Confindustria, where the sum of the presidency Federcomin (media companies) to Fita (service industry), in addition to the post of head of Confindustria. The Union victory at last election Roman is the entrepreneur a great opportunity from the top of his political position within the association of entrepreneurs Tripura asks precise measures of the government. 'It simply outrageous - adds Tripura in the assembly of Confindustria - that today institutions and companies to publicly controlled companies to participate in the races with their eroding the space for private companies with a total distortion of the market rules. " Criticism of what even Montezemolo, the last assembly of Confindustria, has disparagingly called "neostatism municipal" in the thought of Tripura is coupled with the demand for a controlled market, a reform of competitions on the basis qualitative, with particular attention to working conditions. But as ever the entrepreneur of the call center that has never had qualms about using any form of contract precarious, now prefers to present himself as a defender of workers, his father a master of the past. What happened?
To understand this we should recall the last steps of the story dell'Atesia. On April 11 trade unions signed an agreement of apprenticeship contracts in 1100 and only 170 open-ended contracts. He gets the chorus of criticism, the precarious state of the collective workers strike, it suggests that the Lazio region lack the money to finance such a large number of apprentices. On 16 May, for Coincidentally, there's two letters to newspapers simultaneously: the first, signed by the Secretary General of the SLC-CGIL Emilio Miceli where, due to the presence of labor inspectors in the company, is intimate not to apply the agreement just signed, and calling for the convening of a table at the new Labour Minister Cesare Damiano. A short distance reaches the point of Gianni Camisa, CEO of Atesia. Which, after stating that Almaviva is "the sector companies with the highest ratio of permanent workers and atypical workers' raises the proposal of the union, asking the Ministry of certain rules on procurement. A proposal that a few days later, on May 25, will be taken up by the whole Assocontact, the association of owners of call-center outsourcing in. How did the story come immediately Atesia among the papers of the new minister? First of many questions come from the investigation Inspectors to work in large call centers in Cinecittà. It 's very likely that a final report does not recognize the independent nature of the project contracts, and thus forcing the company to pay fines salted INPS and to compensate workers (for this reason new employees are required to sign a release form with the 'undertaking not to claim damage to the company). In that case Atesia risk closure, and this danger is foreseeable government involvement. But there is another level, one that affects millions of euro of public procurement. Tripura seeks out help from a majority that has always supported - since Prodi gave free back in 1996, the princely office in Piazza SS Apostoli: The exchange is among the best terms and conditions for workers and guarantee contracts. The King of the precariousness of the call-center knows that his future may depend on good relations with the new government, and use the uncertainty as a bargaining tool. Now, with the new agreement and layoffs, the stakes are rising. The management of Atesia is a big step forward, by an agreement by all rejected, puts 400 workers on the road.
