Sindicatul IT Timișoara
The Romanian IT Union (Romanian: Sindicatul IT Timișoara; SITT) is Romania's first trade union for people working in the IT and outsourcing sector. It represents 3,000 workers at four different firms; Nokia, Wipro, Accenture and Atos.[1] HistorySITT was formed in 2009, when a French European Works Council member at Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia) notified Romanian workers of the company's plans to outsource one third of all jobs to the Romanian branch of Wipro. SITT organized strike actions, hired a legal team (rare in Romania) and signed a collective agreement with Alcatel-Lucent on 22 December 2009, a few days before the outsourcing was finalised. SITT continues to represent workers at both Alcatel-Lucent and Wipro, taking a geographic approach instead of a typical firm-enterprise approach to labour organising.[1] In 2011, Romania changed its labour code, raising the threshold for companies to recognise unions to 50% of workers. In 2012, SITT won representation of workers at Accenture.[2] In 2017, workers of Atos won legal recognition by SITT.[1] AffiliationSITT is affiliated with the Romanian national trade center Cartel Alfa and the global union federation UNI Global Union.[1] See alsoReferences
