Description
The cooperative company Coros, which works as a subcontractor at Cargo City, the air transport terminal of the Milano Malpensa airport, sent 280 dismissal letters to its workers and announced its intention not to renew the contracts of 60 fixed-term workers employed at the site.
The decision is connected to the expiration of the subcontracting agreement with Mle-Bcube, the company operating the cargo terminal, which will take place on 31 December.
The trade unions deemed the decision as unacceptable since it did not follow the collective dismissal procedure applicable when there are more than five workers dismissed; and demanded the re-hiring of the workers by the main company Mle-Bcube.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
