Carabinieri SIM Faces Challenges: Milan Cortina Listening Post Overwhelmed by Colleague Discontent
The Carabinieri’s SIM is currently facing significant challenges at its Milan Cortina listening post in Predazzo. Frustration among colleagues has reached a critical level, with numerous complaints flooding in about the logistical and meal management issues at the former Maneggio facility.
Key Issues Highlighted by Carabinieri SIM
Over the past few days, the listening post has received a surge of emails and testimonies. These communications point to an unsustainable organizational and service quality situation. The primary criticisms include:
- Urgent necessity for a health and hygiene inspection of the premises.
- Lack of meal choices, providing only one option per course.
- Insufficient availability of fresh food, with fruit often replaced by processed alternatives.
- Questionable methods of water distribution, using lukewarm pitchers.
The need for individual, packaged water for each operator is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly in such an internationally significant context.
Response and Acknowledgment
Despite these issues, SIM Carabinieri acknowledges the effective response to many concerns, thanks to collaborative efforts with local commanders. This recognition highlights the attention paid to personnel conditions within the Carabinieri.
Furthermore, SIM Carabinieri expresses gratitude for the remarkable dedication of volunteers. Their commitment to supporting the Olympic operational needs has been commendable. However, the union emphasizes that volunteer goodwill cannot compensate for systemic logistical and contractual shortcomings.
Call for Urgent Action
The reports submitted by personnel cannot be viewed as isolated incidents. They expose structural issues that stem from a lack of involvement of the union in essential planning phases for meals and accommodation. A proactive dialogue could have prevented many of the current inconveniences.
To address these pressing matters, SIM Carabinieri is calling for:
- An immediate review of meal management processes in Predazzo.
- The implementation of definitive structural adjustments.
- The establishment of discussions with union representatives to secure dignified standards for personnel.
Ensuring efficient service delivery is directly linked to the living and working conditions granted to the personnel. SIM Carabinieri remains committed to closely monitoring these issues to provide concrete solutions for every individual member.
