A group of approximately 15 temporary workers staged a protest last week in front of the Lucca office of Italian staffing firm Gi Group, reports Il Tirreno. The protesters said they have been waiting for a year to receive back pay owed to them. The temporary workers were originally sent by Gi Group to work at Texsus, an Italian multilayer solutions firm for the Hygienic, Medical, and Industrial market. A number of trade unions then found differences in pay for the temporary workers at Texsus and the other employees of the company. In some cases, the difference was up to a hundred euros less per month. Gi Group then recognised the problem in pay and asked for an official check to their calculation of the amount owed to the temporary workers. However, unions requested that Gi Group immediately pay the workers and talks between Gi Group and the unions seem to have stalled since.
