Sterilgarda, the large food company (the fourth largest milk producer in Italy) of Castiglione delle Stiviere with about 350 workers, uses an iron fist on vaccinations.
The chairman of the board of directors Fernando Sarzi has sent a communication to all employees and suppliers specifying that those who do not get vaccinated against Covid may have their duties changed in order to exclude the risk of contagion due to contacts with other employees.
And, in the event that this change of duties is not possible, the worker will not be admitted to the company with suspension of salary until the resumption of work.
In short, without vaccine the risk of being left out of Sterilgarda without a salary (but not fired).
A strong stance that is causing discussion and that, especially on the Internet where communication has already become public domain, has provoked an outcry by No vax, No green pass. Sterilgarda, through its legal pool, explains that Evaluations are underway on how to proceed to safeguard the right to work and the right to health, which are the rights of all, in a moment of the pandemic period in which the infections are recovering and at the same time everyone is offered the opportunity to undergo vaccination. Not said – explains a lawyer of the food company – that we must actually get to the suspension from work, but one of the options that are on the table and that will be considered before September, when resuming work after the holidays.

Before issuing the note to employees and suppliers, Sterilgarda started a table with the unitary union representation within the group and with the occupational doctor who follows the company, so as to find the most suitable solution for everyone’s health and work. conviction of the company – reads the letter to employees – that the tools for containing the pandemic, primarily vaccines, are and will be fundamental to avoid the reintroduction of restrictive measures. Protecting the company from biological risks is one of the employer’s obligations in terms of safety in the workplace. The legislation in force already provides for the mandatory administration of vaccines such as tetanus, hepatitis B or tuberculosis vaccine for many categories of workers. Add to that that being subjected to vaccination also constitutes an ethical instrument of respect and protection for workers and their families, as well as all those who are already having to live with pathological situations incompatible with the administration of the vaccine, thus remaining subjects exposed to the infection in the workplace.
