The Commission sent a note a few days ago to the 5,000 workers to take part in the mobilizations to deal with the 'serious deterioration' ofworking conditions and the reconciliation FAMILIA.
The three main unions have complained thatthemanagement has failed to comply with and "violated" the agreements adopted continuously, that it hires temporary workers through temporary employment agencies and that the management has not taken into account workers' signatures against the performance of the ninth hour of morning and afternoon shifts, once the night shift has been cancelled.
