Bnl, agreement on generational turnover: 908 bankers are leaving but there will be 776 hires

The improvement of welfare

The agreement also established an improvement in welfare through the recognition of the meal voucher for smart working staff which will be 4 euros and the increase in the meal voucher for in-person workers to 8 euros. The increase will be adjusted for part-time staff. Furthermore, the bank will increase its contribution to the Pension Fund from 4.2% to 4.5%.

The satisfaction of the unions

The Fabi coordinator of the Bnl Bnp Paribas group, Fabio Armeni explains that «the agreement recognizes new economic resources for all workers, attention to young people through investment in complementary pensions and takes into account the difficulties of people in contact with customers”.

«After the highly contested and controversial transfers of Bnl personnel in 2022, which involved over 830 workers, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel – comments Valerio Fornasari, group secretary responsible for the First Cisl -. Finally, after years of heated confrontation, we are returning to a positive climate of trade union relations. We hope for the start of a new phase of fruitful dialogue and profitable collective bargaining, also in view of the next industrial plan of the BNP Paribas Group 2026.” The secretary responsible for Fisac ​​Cgil Bnl, Martina Braga, hopes that the agreement will be «an important starting point for the resumption of quality relations with the company, after several years of autonomous management on the issue of early retirement».

For the secretary responsible for Uilca Gruppo Bnl Andrea D’Orazio «the agreement can be an important reference for the entire sector thanks to the percentage of replacement achieved, the application of the generational relay – recently introduced by the renewal of the National Contract – and the attention aimed at workers in service who have long been waiting for answers to the commitment made in recent years”.

The question of ad personams of management

The issue of the reabsorption of ad personams for management in the increase in the national collective agreement signed last November is not included in the agreements signed. In this regard, Tommaso Vigliotti, national secretary of Unisin and responsible for the Bnl/BNP Paribas group, while expressing general appreciation for the agreements as a whole, speaks of «disappointment regarding the issue of the absorbability of ad personams for management: the company has announced that it will intervene on the issue independently but in a very partial way compared to the expectations of its colleagues”.
