BTicino<\/strong> give male and female employees who have married people of the same sex abroad<\/strong> the same rights established by the National Collective Bargaining Employment Contract, namely, marriage leave and leave to take care of a spouse.\u00a0 A few hours after the approval of the law on civil unions, which also includes same-sex marriages, the company, which is part of the Legrand Group, and the Varese branches of the trade unions FIM CISL and FIOM CGIL signed this agreement, during the company\u2019s national coordination meeting, which ratifies the agreements already reached by the BTicino equal opportunities commission.<\/p>\n

In fact, the agreement contains much more, because it also speaks about preventing harassment and violence at the workplace, and reconciling the time spent at work and with that spent at home<\/strong>, by means of flexible working hours. \u201cThe world of work is real, and it reflects what is outside,\u201d said Stefania Filetti<\/strong>, the Provincial Secretary of the FIOM CGIL<\/strong>. \u201cIn the case of BTicino<\/strong>, I think it\u2019s an important step for the lives of people, especially those who work in a multinational company, because the agreement acknowledges that there are relationships, governed by other legislation, that have the same rights as Italian heterosexual couples. Once again, the world of work has promptly acknowledged a change in society, because it is a fundamental part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very positive agreement on all three topics discussed,\u201d said Mario Ballante<\/strong>, the Provincial Secretary of FIM CISL<\/strong>, \u201cand it\u2019s the first positive effect of globalisation. The fact that it is a multinational company that has recognised this indicates that it should be emulated. This agreement allows access to other rights that are equally important for family support. In any case, there is acknowledgement of laws, cultures and respect for conditions of other countries that can contribute to our country\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shouldn\u2019t surprise us,\u201d said the FIOM CGIL and FIM CISL representatives. \u201cThe agreement demonstrates that civil and individual rights go hand in hand with social and collective rights. The negotiation has proven to be the most important instrument in understanding changes in society and people\u2019s needs. With this agreement, we\u2019re going to improve the lives of people, and of all of our families and our children. There are other steps to be taken, and they will be, if the \u2018civil\u2019 spirit stays alive. In addition to BTicino, let\u2019s work to \u2018contaminate\u2019 other companies with freedom and rights, companies that, with the same sensitivity and foresight, decide to take a stand in our confused country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trade unions and union representatives at BTicino have asked the company to show the same willingness to reach agreements on open topics, namely, professionalism and internal contracts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
