Response from Lotto

Proposal B3: Eliminate short-term contracting.

Lotto does not commit to the elimination of short-term contracts, their clearly defined use, providing same salary and benefits to short-term contracts, or automatic open-ended contracts for workers after 2 fixed term contracts or two years’ employment.

Full response

"Lotto Sport Italia researches and plans the workload of the factories on the basis of the amount of productivity needed, and therefore, identifies a workload plan for the labourers. We also acknowledge that our business is seasonal, however, it is in the factories’ interest to retain workers on a flat rate, although there are some cases where workers leave for more prosperous offers and the consequence is a general lack of labourers. Furthermore, Lotto’s production requires a high level of “know how” for the creation of the products, and therefore has minimal interest in promoting precarious employment as this would only mean the continuous transfer of our “know how” resources from worker to worker. Notwithstanding what above mentioned, precarious employment is a phenomenon that occurs globally, and to all businesses, including first tyre world countries."
