The employment dispute at the Ge.P.O.S. healthcare clinic in Telese Terme, in the Benevento area, is back at the center of local attention after the dismissal of three workers: two laboratory technicians and one cook.

The Democratic Party (PD) and the Five Star Movement (M5S) have sent a joint request to Benevento Prefect Raffaela Moscarella, ASL Benevento Director General Tiziana Spinosa, the mayor of Telese Terme and the trade unions, asking for an institutional meeting on the situation.

What the political groups are asking

According to the report, the requested meeting is intended to clarify employment prospects, the effects on service organization and the local social fabric.

The request follows the three dismissals and raises the question of what comes next for staff at the Telese Terme facility. The sources do not report the reasons for the dismissals or the dates on which they occurred.

The PD and M5S groups also asked ASL Benevento for information on public resources, activity volumes, spending ceilings, budgets and contracts for the years 2024-2026.

No decision by the Prefecture to accept the request or schedule the proposed meeting has been reported.

Background: the unions' earlier move

Trade unions had already raised the case before this political initiative. CGIL FP, UIL FPL and CISL FP described the dispute as involving a collective-dismissal procedure under Law 223/1991.

The unions requested an urgent meeting with ASL Benevento and warned of possible mobilization if no concrete response arrived, including a possible demonstration outside the ASL headquarters.

According to the unions' account, a previous discussion at the Prefecture and a subsequent meeting at the Campania Region had not produced a solution. Those claims about prior commitments have not been independently verified in the reports acquired.

The number of workers potentially affected by the broader collective-dismissal procedure is not specified, and no official response from Ge.P.O.S., the ASL, the Prefecture or the unions was reported beyond the statements cited in the articles.

What to watch next

For readers following the case, two points remain open: whether the Prefecture will convene the table requested by the PD and M5S, and whether ASL Benevento will provide the 2024-2026 data requested on resources, activity volumes and contracts.

Any further union mobilization will depend, according to the unions' own statements, on whether an immediate discussion with the ASL takes place and produces concrete answers.
