美光裁减40%意大利劳工被政府干预叫停

国际电子商情讯，由于意大利工会和全球贸易劳工联盟(IndustriAll Global Union)为419名被解雇的意大利研发工程师展开了一系列抗议活动，最终美光试图解雇40%意大利劳工的计划失败。 消息人士透露，这项谈判在美光公司和工会代表之间进行，其中有100多个职位是可以被保留的，但该提议被美光公司拒绝。根据意大利法律，这项谈判的咨询期最迟到4月7日。 此次裁员源自2013年8月的美光重组，公司决定在2014财年结束前裁减全球5%的员工。不巧的是，裁员正好落在了最近就业率下降严重的意大利。按照内部计划，美光需要出售其在意大利阿韦扎诺（Avezzano）的晶圆厂给LFoundry GmbH，以实现资源调整，尽量把制造基地离得和客户更近。

意大利FIM，FIOM和UILM工会组织了一系列罢 工和抗议，全球贸易劳工联盟的秘书长Jyrki Raina还写信给意大利工会声援美光员工。信中涉及到与美光斗争的事情，内容如下： 　　亲爱的同僚们： 　　我代表全球贸易劳工联盟，代表全球140个国家矿业、能源和制造业5000万名工人，写信给你们，促进全球团结以及在全世界范围内争取更好的工作条件和工会权利，表示全力支持微光半导体意大利工会的斗争，保护就业，保持美光意大利工业角色。 　　我们谴责该公司在实施一项重组计划包括裁员的强硬立场，它们没与工会有任何协商。此外,我们发现该公司甚至没有考虑过可供选择的其它重组计划，这让人无法接受。 　　我们完全支持你们对美光意大利的行动，通过谈判为工人找到一个公平公正的解决方法，这也应该牵涉到政府机构和美光意大利母公司美光科技。 　　此外，我们坚信公司有责任保护美光意大利的工人和他们的家庭。公司必须立即提交一个新的计划来维持就业水平和增加投资在意大利电子行业。 　　我们坚决力挺你们与意大利美光半导体斗争，颠覆公司解雇工人的单边决定，要求该公司与工会代表会面。 　　日内瓦，2014年3月19日 　　附：意大利共和国总统和总理、卡塔尼亚以及墨西拿的市长都加入此次行动。 支持原创，鄙视抄袭，请访问《国际电子商情》网站www.esmchina.com 本来美光可以通过重新安排职位，来保留超过100个工作岗位，但工会后来发现这不现实。因为至少过半的职位重安排会在国外，比如德国、新加坡和美国，并且美光坚持这些调整不会涉及薪资变动。 美光提供长达18个月的薪资作为遣散费，但工会仍不买账。据相关人士透露，这是因为遣散费在意大利一向是很高的，一般为其他国家的两倍。 不得已，美光又拿出了2000万美元作为意大利员工的补偿，但工会仍然对此表示愤怒。（编按：欧洲的劳动法是有多爱护员工啊……） 本文授权编译自EE Times，版权所有，谢绝转载 参考英文原文：Micron Italian Job Cuts Get Global Criticism，by Peter Clarke

{pagination} Micron Italian Job Cuts Get Global Criticism Peter Clarke Italian unions and the international IndustriALL Global Union have undertaken a series of protests in support of workers for Micron in Italy, which is facing the loss of 419 jobs, or about 40% of the Italian workforce. Negotiations are taking place between the company and union representatives and up to 100 jobs could be saved, but the terms being offered by Micron are not being received well, a source familiar with talks said. The consultation period, required under Italian law, is due to end April 7, 2014. The threatened job cuts are the result of a reorganization plan announced internally by Micron in August 2013 intended to reduce Micron's global work force by less than 5% through the end of fiscal 2014. However, the cuts are falling particularly hard on the Italian workforce. Immediately prior to the formation of the internal plan, Micron announced the sale of its wafer fab in Avezzano, Italy, to LFoundry GmbH and Micron has said that one purpose of the reorganization is to align its resources with where it has manufacturing sites and customers. Italy's FIM, FIOM, and UILM unions organized a series of strikes and protest actions across Italy and Jyrki Raina, general secretary of the IndustriALL Global Union, has written a letter of expressing solidarity with union actions and the Micron workers. IndustriALL is a global union federation founded in 2012 that represents more than 50 million people from 140 countries working in the mining, energy and manufacturing sectors. The unions are looking for Micron to cancel or reduce the job cuts and for support from STMicroelectronics NV, where many of the workers were employed before their jobs were moved to Numonyx NV and then to Micron. Workers are also saying that European Commission funds that are used to stimulate collaborative R&D projects should be used to save the jobs of the Micron Italy workers. The message from IndustriALL to the general secretaries of the FIM, FIOM, and UILM unions, dated March 19, said: We deplore the company's intransigent stance in implementing a restructuring plan, without any consultation with the unions, which involves redundancies. In addition, we find it unacceptable that the company is not even considering an alternative to the restructuring plan. Up to 100 positions could be saved through relocating those jobs, according to a source, who communicated with EE Times Europe on condition of anonymity. However, the union finds the terms unacceptable because at least half the job relocations would be abroad Germany, Singapore, or the United States, and Micron is insisting that they would be without salary adjustment, the source said. Micron is offering up to 18 months' salary as severance pay, but this is not finding favor with the union, the source said. This is because severance in Italy has always been substantially higher, typically twice as much, the source said. Finally, Micron is holding out the carrot of $20 million of investment in Italy over the next two years subject to the results of the lay-off negotiations, the source said. The source added that the union has reacted angrily to this proposal. A meeting between company, unions, and government is scheduled for April 1, the source said.
