Schael calls for reconciliation, pens a missive to the union: "Let's restart and flip the chapter"
In a recent development, Thomas Schael, the commissioner at the heart of a contentious dispute between the City of Health and the Federation Cimo-Fesmed unions, has decided not to appeal the Tribunal of Labour in Turin's decision on anti-union conduct. This decision was outlined in a letter to the Federation Cimo-Fesmed's company secretary, Vladimir Erardi Bacic.
The decision not to appeal comes after weeks of conflict and could potentially transform the legal battle into a dialogue table. Schael emphasizes that the decision is driven by the goal of continuing institutional activities and union relations in a serene and respectful atmosphere.
The commissioner has expressed a sincere hope for a renewed atmosphere of détente and serenity, signaling the will to pursue common objectives. The current goal is to convene "specific union tables at the end of the summer break" to address work programming and waiting list reduction projects.
The Tribunal of Labour in Turin had previously condemned the City of Health for anti-union conduct. However, some charges contested by the Tribunal, such as the lack of work plans at the beginning of the year, cannot be attributed to the healthcare management, as its appointment occurred in the second quarter.
Schael's announcement is in line with the logic of public health. The commissioner has also highlighted the results achieved by the Board appointed on April 1, with a quarter of the additional performances of the entire Piedmont Region being carried out in the first half of 2025.
It remains to be seen if the union front, which has denounced the commissioner's "muscular approach", will grasp the outstretched hand. The commissioner has announced dedicated meetings to advance the reordering process of the in-house private practice, aiming to bring the activity back within the company facilities.
