On 26 October 2026, the FP CGIL and UIL FPL unions held a protest outside the GE.P.O.S. clinic in Telese Terme over the dismissal of three employees.

According to NTR24, those dismissed were two laboratory technicians and a cook, each reported as having approximately 30 years of service. The unions are contesting the dismissals and asking for public clarification about the clinic's situation and about checks carried out by the Benevento ASL.

What the unions are asking

The unions have requested information from the Benevento ASL about checks and investigations carried out at the clinic, including commitments reportedly made after a meeting at the Prefecture.

They say they have not received the promised results of those checks more than four months after the Prefecture meeting.

Their other questions concern the clinic's ownership history, financial position, management decisions, possible outsourcing arrangements, and reported new hires. The unions want these points clarified on the basis of official accounts and documentation.

The financial figures cited

A financial exposure of approximately seven million euros was reportedly discussed in connection with the dispute. The unions say this figure needs to be clarified using official accounts and documentation. It is not independently established whether it refers to debt, loss, or another accounting measure.

NTR24 separately reports that a 2025 operating loss of approximately 3.68 million euros was cited among the company's reasons for reorganising staff. No independent official financial statements were available in the research for this article.

A dispute that began before October

The October protest followed an earlier phase of the dispute. In September 2026, CGIL FP, UIL FPL, and CISL FP said a collective-dismissal procedure under Law 223/1991 was threatening jobs and called for an urgent meeting with the Benevento ASL.

That history explains why the unions framed the 26 October demonstration as a demand for answers rather than an isolated reaction to three individual cases: the collective procedure, the Prefecture meeting, and the announced ASL checks all preceded it.

The facility

GE.P.O.S. describes its Telese Terme facility as a 60-bed surgical clinic accredited with the Italian National Health Service. The clinic states that it has operated since 1985.

What remains unclear

Several central points remain unverified on the basis of the documents acquired:

  • The official position of GE.P.O.S. on the dismissals, the financial figures, and the union allegations was not found.
  • The formal response of the Benevento ASL and the documented results of its inspections or checks were not found.
  • The exact legal and procedural status of the dismissals, including any subsequent negotiations or appeals, remains unclear.
  • The reported ownership history and the alleged new hires or outsourcing arrangements require verification through company records or official documentation.

Readers following this case should look for the publication of the ASL check results promised after the Prefecture meeting, and for official company accounts clarifying the approximately seven-million-euro figure and the reported 2025 loss.
