Supermarket director finds a sanitary napkin out of the basket: “Now let’s check who’s on period”

A used sanitary napkin, left outside the bin in the changing room bathroom, unleashed the uncontrollable anger of the director of a Conad store in the province of Pescara who sent a message full of anger to the whatsapp group formed by department heads: “I want the name and surname of those who have a menstrual cycle today, okay? Otherwise I’ll drop the panties“.

Filcams-Cgil denounced this in a press conference, to which the affair was reported by three women. Since the workers refused to give the name of the “culprit” who forgot to throw the tampon, “the verbal violence then turned into physics when the department heads checked the women on duty individually», Writes Filcams-Cgil, which started the legal procedures to investigate the case.

In the voice message, the director adds: «I’m really putting you in trouble, huh! Give me the names, because otherwise I will make a letter of reminder to all the people who were working at that hour … at that hour ». The threat is of «disciplinary disputes as well as failure to renew fixed-term contracts»Explains Davide Urbano of Filcalms CGIL.

According to Lucio Cipollini, general secretary of Filcams Cgil Abruzzo, this is “a very serious and ignoble gesture, an unprecedented violence by a woman towards women. We will be alongside the workers involved to support them in this difficult moment ». It is not known if, in the end, any of the employees eventually agreed to lower their panties in front of the owner, but there would also be messages in which some workers invite the others to excuse themselves “to close the game”, as Cipollini reports.

The union also asks “a responsible stance also to the Conad brand on this unfortunate episode, which casts a shadow not only on the professional sphere of the large food chain, lacking the respect of workers enshrined in the regulatory level by the national contract, but more generally on the management of human relations, which sees one of the brand’s sales points using invasive, oppressive and authoritarian methods that are unacceptable in any civil forum “.
