MARVECS has informally announced 200 redundancies, and the game of scientific informants is confirmed as the tile of 2008 also in Brianza. The company will communicate the downsizing by Friday to Assolombarda. "If the announcement is confirmed, we can talk about disguised layoffs by the pharmaceutical companies - comments Bruno Casati, Palazzo Isimbardi's Councilor for Labor - we are at the counter, a branch of the company is being sold because the market cannot stand and then the workers end up still in the middle of the road".
THE CUT of advisers, 10 thousand to be fired in the next two years, it has already had heavy warnings in the area. In December, between outsourcing and relocation, Roche from Monza "disposed" 217 of them, while Astrazeneca from Caponago canceled 330 (50 in Basiglio). The case was raised by a true Brianza, Gianpaolo Verderio, former mayor of Burago Molgora, who has been fighting for years with stamped papers with Marvecs. Together with his colleagues he requested and obtained a hearing at the Labor Commission of the Province.
The whistleblowers raise doubts about the legitimacy of the transition from Pfizer, of which they were employees in the first instance, to Marvecs, through the application of the Biagi law. But yesterday morning the Milan Court of Appeal, called to rule on the matter, said that everything is fine."We are amazed - comments Verderio - as workers we do not feel protected by the system". In Lombardy there will be 5 thousand layoffs of advisers, half in the hinterland and in Brianza. 46 percent of the 177 Italian pharmaceutical companies are concentrated in the Province of Milan. "With this sentence, the informants become sellers of the drug, employees of the commercial network, with all the ensuing troubles". adds Verderio. The ordeal of the Buraghese began with the transition from Pharmacia and Pfizer and then to Marvecs, the company born in Colleoni of Agrate which he recapitalised (from 12 thousand 500 euros to 2 and a half million) immediately after the meeting with the Province, at the end November, in which she was recalled to her responsibilities.
«THE CASE is extremely delicate – explains Piero Maestri, president of the Milanese Employment Commission – we have undertaken to ask for the intervention of the Ministry for Economic Development and the Ministry of Health regarding informants. The social impact of this restructuring is heavy, and risks causing damage to the national health system and the health of patients". After the defeat on appeal, the Marvecs advisers (fired, but never reinstated to work as ordered by the Milan judge last April) will appeal to the Supreme Court, asking the court to rule again on the application of Biagi.
