Abstract
The study, investigating the process of transition to a sustainable economy capable of guaranteeing equity and rights, delves into the evolution of the forms of labour exploitation that characterise the subcontracting system that has developed at the Monfalcone shipyard (Fincantieri) since the end of the 1980s. To analyse the roots of the phenomenon and its evolution, the author first traces the history of the ship¬yard from the beginning of its production specialisation in the cruise ship sector and then describes the working conditions in subcontracting in relation to organisational and production transformations. The study shows how, although the tools used for exploitation have not changed over time, the presence of a growing number of migrant workers, now the majority, who are more vulnerable to blackmail because they are far from their country of origin and do not wish to lose their work permit, has led to increasingly serious and differentiated forms of exploitation, which also challenge the traditional model of union intervention.
La ricerca, indagando il processo di passaggio a un’economia sostenibile capace di garantire equità e diritti, approfondisce l’evoluzione delle forme di sfruttamento del lavoro che caratterizzano il sistema degli appalti, sviluppatosi dalla fine degli anni Ottanta del Novecento, nel Cantiere Navale di Monfalcone (Fincantieri). Per analizzare le radici del fenomeno e la sua evoluzione si ripercorre prima la storia dello stabilimento dal momento in cui inizia la specializzazione produttiva nel set¬tore delle navi da crociera e poi si descrivono le condizioni di lavoro nel subappalto in rapporto alle trasformazioni organizzative e produttive. I risultati dello studio mettono in evidenza come, sebbene gli strumenti utilizzati (la “paga globale” e la “liberatoria”) non siano cambiati nel tempo, la presenza di un numero crescente, e ormai maggioritario, di lavoratori immigrati, resi più ricattabili dalla distanza dal loro paese d’origine e dalla necessità di non perdere il permesso di lavoro, ha dato vita a forme di sfruttamento sempre più pesanti e differenziate, mettendo in crisi anche il tradizionale modello d’intervento sindacale.
