The cause of the full powers used by school directors is, by the same admission of many trade unionists, the resignation of teachers to whom everything is fine. The submissive behavior of the teachers towards the decisions of the head of the Institute is the main reason for the fact that the school directors feel authorized to make decisions without hearing the collegial bodies.
Management staff, sometimes the DS chooses it
The contractual legislation clearly states, without a shadow of a doubt, that the school manager can pay only two of his collaborators chosen from the trust, other collaborators of the DS, or work for free, or are system figures chosen by the teaching staff. Yet sometimes it happens that some school leaders, not to mention the national collective bargaining agreement, choose three or four collaborators and illegitimately pay them with the FIS. All this with the complicity of an entire College of teachers, including the RSU and the local unions, who dare not say a word about these decisions.
With FIS you only pay 2 DS employees
A DS can also have more than two collaborating teachers, in fact pursuant to paragraph 83 of article 1 of law 107/2015 he can identify up to 10% of teachers who assist him, but, with FIS, he can pay only two.
The reference legislation is art.88 of the CCNL school 2006/2009, extended pursuant to paragraph 10 art.1 of the CCNL school 2016-2018. The aforementioned art.88 establishes indemnities and fees to be paid by the Institute fund. In paragraph 2 letter f) of this contractual article it is provided that the fees to be paid to the teaching and educational staff, no more than two units, whose collaboration the head teacher intends to take advantage of in carrying out his organizational and managerial functions. These fees cannot be combined with the fee for the instrumental functions of the training offer plan pursuant to article 33 of this CCNL.
It should be noted that Law 107/2015 has in no way repealed what is contained in article 88 paragraph letter f), if anything, the law on the Good school has limited, compared to the past, the collaborations of teachers with the DS to a maximum of 10% of the teachers of the staff of autonomy.
The DS invents a DaD team
There are cases in which it happens that the Headmaster, with the satisfaction of all the teachers or almost, without making the College decide, decides to create a team for distance learning chosen on a trust basis. This is obviously a team appointed without the collegiate passage and therefore destined to perform a job that should not be remunerated, also because it was born on the choice of the school manager, in the lockdown period, without a contractual decision and without a collegial resolution. Yet a decision of this type, illegitimate in form. is passively accepted by all teachers.
Anti-union measures accepted in silence
There are many cases in which the Headmaster makes anti-union decisions, to the detriment of some teacher or all the teachers, in the deafening silence of the RSU and all the teachers of the school. A silence, according to many teachers, caused by the fear of unleashing the head’s fatal ire. According to the opinion of many teachers, the internal relations between schools between school managers and teachers are marred by an excessive difference in power between the two components and the fear of paying duties if you dare to challenge the decisions of your Principal.
