Pam Fires Three Cashiers After ‘Fake Customer’ Tests as Unions Plan Rome Meeting

A face-to-face is set for 20 November in Rome between the company and unions.

Overview

  • Three Pam employees in Tuscany were dismissed after failing surprise ‘fake customer’ checks in which inspectors hid items to test cashier vigilance.
  • The cases involve one cashier in Siena, identified as 62-year-old union delegate Fabio Giomi, and two in Livorno named Tommaso and Davide.
  • Giomi had previously passed an earlier assessment before a second test, reportedly involving small items concealed among beer cases, led to his termination.
  • Union representatives denounced the method as an ambush that applies psychological pressure, arguing cashiers are not law enforcement and calling for reinstatements.
  • Worker assemblies are being organized ahead of the 20 November meeting, and the Avs party has said it will raise the matter in Parliament with a formal question.
