Italienische Metallgewerkschaft FIOM: Keine Solidarität mit streikenden Mitgliedern bei FIAT – weil sie mit anderen Gewerkschaften zusammen ein Komitee gebildet hatten…

FIOM Basis ist auch im Italien von 2016 kämpferisch...nur die Basis?Die Auseinandersetzung ist leicht zu verstehen: In mehreren süditalienischen FIAT Werken (heißt jetzt offiziell FCA, nicht Augsburg, sondern eben Fiat Chrysler Autos, gab es ja nördlich auch schon mal) wehrten sich die Belegschaften gegen wachsende Arbeitsbelastung. Zwangsüberstunden am Samstag waren zugleich Höhepunkt, wie auch der berühmte Tropfen zu viel im Fass. Die (größte italienische) Metallgewerkschaft FIOM (im Gewerkschaftsbund CGIL) rief zunächst zum Streik dagegen auf, setzte dies aber abschließend aus unbekannten Gründen wieder ab. Unter vielen anderen waren auch 16 RSA (betrieblich-gewerkschaftliche Interessensvertretung) Aktive der FIOM, die stattdessen, unter anderem mit von der FIOM wenig geliebten Basisgewerkschaftern, ein übergewerkschaftliches Komitee bildeten, das weiterhin, teilweise erfolgreich, versuchte einen Streik gegen die Zwangsüberstunden zu organisieren. Jetzt haben FIOM und CGIL mitteilen lassen, dass dieses Vorgehen nicht mit der Mitgliedschaft „kompatibel“ sei und sie die gewerkschaftlichen RSA-Funktionen nicht mehr wahrnehmen könnten. Was zu einer Zeit geschieht, da die FIAT Unternehmensleitung ohnehin einen stramm antigewerkschaftlichen Kurs fährt… Siehe dazu den kurzen Bericht und Solidaritätsaufruf „So we demand that the FIOM and the CGIL take a step back and open up to a discussion with these delegates and workers“ und einige Stellungnahmen seit dem 07. März 2016:

  • „So we demand that the FIOM and the CGIL take a step back and open up to a discussion with these delegates and workers“
    On March the 7th, 2016, the FIOM Central Committee ruled by majority that heavy disciplinary measures be imposed on sixteen of their own ranks, workers at FCA plants (formerly known as FIAT). By an unusual course of action, it was ruled that they should be ousted from the trade union leadership and stripped of the right of delegation (whether RSA or RLS). This rule was based on a resolution from the CGIL Supervisory Body, whose opinion had been called upon by the FIOM regional leadership of Basilicata and Molise. As the Supervisory Body heard only the arguments of the latter, without counterargument from the accused, it ruled by majority that to join in a grassroots workers’ committee was incompatible with belonging to the CGIL.
    This committee was built almost a year ago and put together workers from Cassino, Melfi, Termoli and Atessa, including delegates and union leaders from various trade union organizations. As the brief launching document went: “exclusive aim of this committee is to put together workers, for them to stand united against the divide-and-rule politics promoted by company management and to share common struggles. The latter are the ones that can help us improve better wage and working conditions inside FCA plants”  The committee has never started a negotiation or called a strike: it was simply meant to be a place to coordinate struggles, one of the many coalitions that CGIL delegates or bodies take or took part in (from “self-made delegates”, to local branch or sector committees and the so called “social coalition” promoted by the FIOM).
    These delegates’ only fault was to call strikes against mandatory overtime hours on Saturdays, against the will of the FIOM. A part of local branch delegates was against “giving up the only means that the FIOM and its delegates have to resist bosses’ conceit (…). The workers are giving us credit for always waging the struggles that we think are right, and not just the most comfortable ones! This is where we have to start off again, for our sacrifice to become one day a victory. This will be hard enough, but we are the last bulwark of democracy in a world, like the FCA’s, where law ends at the gates” (excerpts from the Letter of thirty FCA RSA and subcontractors, April 1st , 2015)
    Any strike was then called by these comrades in their capacity of FIOM RSA delegates, in constant touch with the workers of their own plants.
    If disciplinary measures like the ousting of CGIL delegates and members at FCA plants from the trade union leadership and the stripping of their right of delegation were eventually implemented it would be tantamount to their expulsion from the FIOM. What’s worse, in the framework of Marchionne model and its antiunion attitude, the workers who are struggling against it risk being left without protection. Since we have always upheld workplace democracy and the defense of trade union rights, we believe this conclusion must be avoided at all costs. The ousting of thedelegates on the frontline against the Marchionne model, of the bulk of them at Termoli and many others in other plants, would be a break with the FIOM history, with the defense of pluralism and union democracy. This break cannot and must not occur. So we demand that the FIOM and the CGIL take a step back and open up to a discussion with these delegates and workers, which pivot on politics and enters into the merits of the issue.
