CINEMA. STEP AHEAD OF RENEWAL OF CONTRACT FOR THE NATIONAL FILM IN THE YEARS TO MATURITY 31/12. Taglialatela, UILCOM "SUSPENSION AND CUTTING THE TAX CREDIT IS MACIGNO FUS ON THE FUTURE OF THE ENTIRE AREA!
" The suspension of the tax credit and cutting FUS weigh like boulders on the heads of workers." was stated in a note is Massimo Tagliatatela , Secretary generale della Uilcom-Uil Campania, intervenuto al coordinamento sindacale nazionale unitario di Slc-Cgil, Fistel-Cisl e Uilcom-Uil che hanno aperto una sessione di lavoro per redigere una piattaforma rivendicativa da presentare alla controparte rappresentata da ANEM (AGIS) e ANEC (ANICA) in vista della scadenza del CCNL dell’esercizio cinematografico prevista al 31 dicembre prossimo. “ La situazione è molto delicata – spiega Tagliatatela – e il problema assume toni ancor più preoccupanti in Campania e nel Meridione data la particolare situazione di crisi economica. Con la Tax credit, infatti, alcune grandi produzioni straniere hanno deciso Italy to shoot films like The American, The Rite, Letters to Juliet, The Tourist, Eat Pray Love, who have spent in our country, and particularly in our region if we think of the film Roberts, in addition to € 50m according to the estimate given in Venice from MiBAC, triggering the whole sector that phenomenon called 'film tourism' which sets in motion the economy around the cinema. " The reference of the UIL union is clear: in 2009 and first half of 2010 there was an increase of 4% of revenue compared to last year, with about 100 million tickets sold. And even the revenues have increased, with a division that sees higher revenues, 88% of the total, come from watching movies while 11% from business related. "The cutting FUS (Fund for the Performing Arts) - continues the statement - ago record, compared to 410 million disbursed in 2010, a forecast equal to 270/280 million payable, ie 130 / € 140 million less. The tax credit also performs a function that is to compensate for the cut to the FUS. If today - insists the union member - to cut the fund is also added to the suspension of tax relief from the tax credit to the cinema industry will undergo a dramatic contraction in terms of investment and development. " The paradox lies in a simple mathematical calculation that illustrates the convenient cover for the State Tax measures of credit for an annual total of around EUR 80 million, and it is Tagliatatela to explain: "For a € disbursed for the sector has shown that there are at least three falling in the form of induced ". According to a study prepared for the Directorate General Cinema, whose results were presented recently in Venice by the Director Nicola Borrelli, € 80 million invested directly by the State can get to produce up to 3.25 times their value in related activities, resulting in increased revenue for the treasury and not insignificant, even for employment. In conclusion, on behalf of the Syndicate Tagliatatela unit launches an appeal: "In Campania there are tens of salt associated with anemia, including UCI Cinemas, Cineplex and all'ANEC which heads Ambassadors, America Hall, Rainbow, Palm Multiplex, Multiplex Filangieri, La Perla Multiplex, Martos Metropolitan Med Maxicinema (The Space Cinema), ultra-modern, Plaza Multiplex, Victoria and others if you think of the whole Province. The high technological advancement with the digitization and 3D, although resulting in improved services and quality and consequently an increase in revenues alone are not sufficient to cope with the crisis arising from any cut at the gates of the Tax Credit. In the platform to the other party present at this time we have included, among many issues, some important demands such as changes to the legislation of individual transfers (art.56 workers, Art.65 employees) and we asked for retraining levels inquadramentali online with technological change and organizational. But a greater adhesion of workers required to draw close to the union. I therefore call on all employees who are interested to know in detail the points of the platform to get in touch with us to give a hand al sindacato e provare insieme ad organizzare un fronte comune per evitare la sospensione della Tax credit e per determinare insieme i miglioramenti dei livelli occupazionali e delle condizioni di lavoro all’interno di sale, multisale, multiplex e megaplex”.
