For part of Tiscali, the telecommunications company founded by Renato Soru in the late 1990s and now part of the Tesselis group, a new era is beginning. At the Mimit meeting, which was also attended by the trade unions and the region, the cessation of the B2c part of the company was confirmed to the Canarbino Group.

A perimeter of 600 workers

The operation, as Mimit points out, will be formalised through the subsidiary Smeraldo, 'for a total employment perimeter of about 600 workers'. The Canarbino Group, active in the energy sector, "is thus preparing to enhance the consumer perimeter, with the aim of doubling its overall workforce thanks to the integration of these activities, extending its business also to telecommunications networks".

Clear way from the Court of Cagliari

The sale was approved yesterday by the Court of Cagliari in a dedicated hearing. The leasing of the business unit will become operational as of 1 June. Also under consideration by the Ministry and the Region is the uninvolved part of the Tiscali company. 'The project involves a total of 563 workers nationwide who will be absorbed by the new company,' the Region recalls. In March, the redundancies declared by Tiscali-Tessellis numbered 180 out of a total of 729 workers nationwide. On the other hand, 47 workers at the Canarbino Group's headquarters in Sardinia, as well as two journalists, are currently excluded from the acquisition process'. The company also announced that 10 out of 12 journalists have accepted the redundancy incentive.

The attention of Mimit

'Mimit,' the ministry says, 'confirms its utmost attention on the matter, ensuring constant support in the transition phase to protect production continuity, preserve the skills present in the area, and safeguard the employment levels of all the Sardinian company's workers.

During the discussion, the Canarbino Group expressed its willingness to root its industrial project in Sardinia, asking for the support of the institutions to support the company's development plan.

The Region in the field

"The Region of Sardinia is ready to take up the company's invitation so that the regional institution can play a leading role in guaranteeing concrete prospects for the relaunch of the new company,' said Labour Councillor Desirè Manca and Industry Councillor Emanuele Cani jointly. 'In the next few days we will invite Canarbino to an operational round table in Sardinia, during which we hope to be able to analyse the business plan in detail and define the ways in which the Region can concretely intervene with its support instruments.

The trade unions

For the Uilfpc Sardegna, 'employment protection must be an absolute priority and all parties involved, the company, institutions, and stakeholders, must continue the discussion to ensure employment prospects and work continuity for the employees left out of the agreement'. For the union, 'today's round table represents an important step in the process that has been started, but it remains essential to continue the work so that no worker is left without answers'.

The table at the Ministry was adjourned to 16 July.
