After outsourcing, in 2011, network management and handling, affecting about 1,600 workers, Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA agreed, in January, after the Ministry for Economic Development stepped in, to suspend this decision and open talks with unions to find alternative solutions. Thus, the group's management, the national and local Slc-CGIL, Fistel-Cisl and Uilcom-UIl unions, and the national coordination of the Unitary Workplace Representation Structures (RSUs) of the group signed, on October 10, a memorandum of understanding for an alternative system, whereby it will save EUR 35 million. Indeed, because of lower consumption due to the crisis and the lack of structural growth in the telecom industry, where the market is saturated, Wind has to cut costs and increase productivity to support competitiveness. To this end, and to improve customer service (on which the group is counting to become, by the end of 2013, the first telecom group in Italy instead of the 4th today) and value the company's know-how, the new system provides that Wind will not outsource or sell units during the 5 years of the agreement (2012-2017) and even provides for the 'insourcing' of "operations that are compatible with the new organizational system" in return for the reorganization of services and the revision of certain provisions on working time and the result-based bonus.
