In March 2006, eight members of the Cooperative Theseus workers, including some disadvantaged members, have denounced the President, Rogondino Michele, and its Board of Directors, exasperated by abuses and irregularities in the management of the cooperative, bullying and harassment for years, aware of the risk of losing their jobs promptly as it happened: in the months following one after another have all been summarily dismissed and excluded from membership.
Despite the difficulties and hardships, the partners have undertaken a number of lawsuits, criminal and civil, including the civilian complaints to the Directorate of Public Management at the Cooperative prov. Labour in Bari, the Directorate General of ASL BA / 5 and the Court Civil Bari with the request for special inspection and commissioner of the cooperative. All actions that excluded members are determined to carry through, in addition to asking recognition of their rights and dignity of workers, the democracy and transparency that there never was. Moreover, all the members in question are part of the team psycho-social health of the Therapeutic Community and Theseus are the responsibility of the registered Matteo Andriani, the head of care facilities Liliana Tissino the ass. soc. and educator Dr. Maria Angela Corcoran, the teacher prof. Marisa Taliento, the head of the restoration workshop and woodworking Locorotondo Valentino, the occupational therapists Marcello load, Joseph Warren and Lucius Malerba, workers and non-members Joseph Avolos psychotherapist Dr. Florinda Romanazzi. The administration of the cooperative
Theseus has failed to date to replace the sacked staff of the team, nor is this in any way in the headquarters in Via Monopoli, so if you did not go voluntarily these operators, the boys would left alone. Despite this difficult situation, neither providers nor users leave the residential home of the Community, which is then in effect "occupied". In the community
10 people are still living, to follow a rehabilitation treatment program, inevitably involved if not swept away in heavy weather negative: the treatment service has been interrupted, the operators are not paid by January. Only our sense of responsibility and solidarity of local ecclesiastical institutions, the voluntary sector and many ordinary people has allowed users of the therapeutic community to be able to continue their rehabilitation process which is always at risk with the continuation of the story.
The situation is now untenable, despite numerous complaints to the Guardia di Finanza, the Inspectorate of the cooperative bodies, the Inspectorate of Labour and the Civil Court of Bari, the chairman and directors of the Cooperative Theseus still do not ensure ' Help users of the therapeutic community hampering the work of employees who are prevented to the economic livelihood. Plete all the proposals put forward by operators and users to achieve the closure of the case are not taken into account by an imaginary board of directors.
In the meantime, this long, from March 2006 to February 2007, while the president of the cooperative has had plenty of time to pocket the money orders of ASL past that still are coming to the accounts of the cooperative and is taking steps to pocket undisturbed, the operators no longer have the economic strength to move forward in this battle, to meet the expenses for the management of residential, as that the administration of the cooperative from 1 September 2006 no longer provides for the maintenance of the center, which was reported to the Public Prosecutor of Bari, but so far nothing has happened yet.
E 'must also pay court costs and lawyers, and now a security deposit of 7,500 € to the Civil Court of Bari to the CTU who will special inspection requested by the excluded members.
order to allow working members to go through with it now that I'm finally getting the corporate audiences to assert their rights and regain their jobs is necessary to financially support this struggle for social justice. We call therefore, active citizenship, the third sector, the voluntary sector to the creation of a committee of citizen support for the therapeutic community Theseus "that are promoting a fundraiser. Primarily for the money needed for bail, but also because the situation for operators and users is no longer sustainable.
also calls on political parties and local and regional government officials in charge of that account is taken of the ethical question that emerges, where the directors of a cooperative that manages the territory's social health and social services to disadvantaged groups not only have taking no account of the social basis of the same, but they are allowed even to dismiss and to exclude all members involved for years in their work, leaving the cooperative in fact "empty." We look so confident that justice take its course and look forward to a solution because a company's assets built over the years and that, in fact from our expertise and network in over ten years of work we have created in the territory, which are the only real wealth of every cooperative should not be destroyed.
For members of the Cooperative except Theseus Conversano (BA)
