By the year will yield the Tyrrhenian Unicoop Ipercoop Afragola at risk, thousand jobs
Unicoop: "A dead branch "
Retreat from Unicoop Tirreno Campania is a chronicle of an announced end . The story that begins few years ago, was run by Unicoop Tirreno so bad, with disputes with employees and damage to its image as significant. Compartment involvement of Florence Unicoop with the initiative of the District Tirrenico that was to invest in Campania and was abandoned. Now it all'Ipercoop Afragola .
********************************************* *************************** *******
Ipercoop goodbye. Within the year the sale of the hypermarket Afragola. A dead branch, or declare those external relations of the registered Unicoop Tirreno (the person responsible is our old friend Paolo Bertini - known blog ) in Livorno, a "big problem" on which to reflect and find a solution: selling precisely.
Ten thousand square meters, all with en suite facilities and parking areas is at least 180 million euro. Another cold shower for the dying region's labor market, and a very black future for the more than three hundred employees to what seemed to be the flagship chain Unicoop Tirreno. Opened twelve years ago in an area of \u200b\u200bAfragola that was just torn country at the hands of the Camorra, the store had an attractor fly and development, attracting around ten other supermarket chains, a cinema, the Feltrinelli bookshop, and a galaxy of shops, which gave and still give employment to more than a thousand other people.
Now the flagship of the group loses something like a couple of million euro per year, despite the two million "foot traffic" (a term used to count how many people enter the store), and a million round who arrives at speakers. The decision is not official yet, but some time in the air triggered the first proteste dei dipendenti. Dieci giorni di agitazione, con la giornata di sabato che ha visto alle casse i capireparto del negozio, per sostituire le cassiere che hanno partecipato a una infuocata assemblea.
«Non riusciamo a comprendere come mai la struttura viene messa in vendita, quando i dati parlano di un contenimento delle perdite», dice Francesca Ragusa, responsabile Rsa Uiltucs: «La direzione dell’azienda è impegnata nello sviluppo di altri punti vendita, e allora la decisione di vendere il megastore di Afragola ci lascia davvero meravigliati». E mentre i sindacati affilano le armi e indicano nella costituzione di un tavolo regionale la ricerca di soluzioni che garantiscano gli attuali livelli occupazionali e una new policy for commercial ipercentri, the citadel of 'The Gates of Naples "salt of the tension.
"This reality - says the owner of one of the eighty shops in the gallery - is not confined to trade alone. Under the neon lights in recent years has developed and consolidated a new form of sociability, and outside would have no reason to be. Just come in the afternoon to see how many guys come together and spend their leisure time in one place with a climate controlled, especially in maximum security. How many of these would set foot in a library, if they remain on the street? And those who had participated in a cultural event? Now ventilated sale di Ipercoop non solo avrà delle ricadute per l'occupazione, ma creerà un buco culturale e un momento di disgregazione sociale dai risvolti negativi tutti da definire».
Nella cittadella degli ipermercati c'è davvero molta preoccupazione. Gli imprenditori che hanno creduto in questo progetto commerciale temono che con la vendita dell’ipermercato Ipercoop si verifichi una sorta di effetto domino con la chiusura progressiva e inesorabile di tutte le attività che vivono di luce (e reddito) riflessa su quei due milioni di «calpestii». Piedi, e soprattutto portafogli, che andranno da qualche altra parte.

Afragola. Una commercial history began in Piombino about seventy years ago in a sign of solidarity and non-profit. Then called the Consumer Cooperative "The Proletarian," born between workers, clerks and artisans. After more than half a century proletarian cooperative, now has more than eight hundred thousand members, six thousand and three hundred employees, distributed in Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria and Campania.
"The Proletarian" is now called Unicoop Tirreno has 111 stores, 36 supermarkets, 66 small supermarkets and hypermarkets and nine, including one of Afragola, second in size only to that of Livorno home of the parent. Numbers, as Paul says Bertini, head of external relations of Unicoop Tyrrhenian which put the cooperative, including the giants of the food distribution. Many important numbers, and yet the hypermarket Afragola likely the sale.
Why? "The hypermarket Afragola, in the current market condition presents a problem." It means that the flagship of the group suddenly became a dead branch? "No! The reality is that Afragola and Benevento in recent years have become critical points of the asset. " Ipercoop Tirreno Campania to be abandoned? "No. We have invested in Naples, with the opening of the super store in the area Arenaccia (along with Unicoop Florence - Note blog). But for Afragola dobbiamo discutere». Nello specifico? «L’ipotesi è quella della cessione dell’ipermercato di Afragola».
Perché? «La risposta è complessa. A fronte della crisi dei consumi, i cui effetti si sono fatti sentire anche nel nostro gruppo che notoriamente adotta una politica del contenimento dei prezzi. Dopo l’era dell’ipermercato, dove il cliente era abituato a trovare di tutto, dall’alimentare alla batteria dell’auto, ora per restare competitivi bisogna puntare sulla forma del super store. È la nuova strategia. Negozi di tremila metri quadrati, aperti nel centro della città, con il settore alimentare al novanta per cento del movimento. Ne abbiamo aperto one in Naples area Arenaccia. Shops that pass this area, for the times we live in, work in losses from the first day. "
And the future work of the three hundred employees? "It is a difficult and perhaps painful." As painful? "Some of the employees of Afragola has already been diverted via Arenaccia. For the other we must discuss. " The unions are calling for a regional table. "It could serve. In situations like these by comparison with many voices and the discussion could also arise for other options. " No chance to rethink the decision to sell the hypermarket Afragola? "At the moment, this seems to be the only solution '
