The construction site for the reform of the Fornero law. This was decreed by the outcome of the discussion that lasted just over forty minutes between Prime Minister Mario Draghi and the leaders of CGIL, CISL and UIL. The meeting at Palazzo Chigi therefore confirms the government’s willingness to review the rules for leaving the world of work and to introduce new tools into the social security system. The conditions dictated by DraghiMoreover, they are clear: the prime minister is asking for sustainable solutions, which do not jeopardize pensions in the medium term, and within a model based on the contribution mechanism. There will be three round tables to work on from January and will concern outgoing flexibility, pensions for young people and women and supplementary pensions. The calendar of meetings with the trade unions will be announced today.
As unions – explains the general secretary of UIL, Pierpaolo Bombardieri -, we have delivered a unitary platform. The Government has decided to start the confrontation and President Draghi will deliver us the calendar of the next meetings, which will start immediately after the Christmas break. The result of the meeting confirms, in short, a relative unity of purpose between the trade unions and the government, which for the first time find themselves together after the rupture of the general strike called last December 16 by CGIL and UIL, while the CISL has preferred the option of a demonstration on the 18th. We asked the government for a confrontation on the basis of the trade union platform which, however, must introduce a different method than the one used up to now, warns the general secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini, which adds a claim on the front of the Budget law. On relocations we have raised a problem of method and made it clear that changes are needed in the discussion that the commission will hold in the next few hours.
Reductions and bonuses in the maneuver
But a change in relocations is unlikely, the priority of the Budget Commission in the Senate is to accelerate the process of approving the maneuver, to send the text to the courtroom of Palazzo Madama by Thursday. Late in the evening the night marathon began to vote on the amendments of the majority parties, reformulated after the agreement with the Government. The latest package of changes includes 100% relief in the first three years for employers who enter into apprenticeship contracts in 2022 and have fewer than 9 employees, the allocation to zero contributions 8.1 million. Another amendment provides for an 82 million fund to suspend Tosap in the first quarter of 2022. On the restructuring front, the furniture bonus is raised from 5 to 10 thousand euros for 2022. Among the funds provided 120 million for psychological support in schools, 5 million for co-housing for the elderly, 10 million for aid to handcrafted ceramics and glass, 10 million for the textile industry in Prato. To these amendments are added the Superbonus (with the stop to the Isee roof for the villas), the cut in contributions for construction workers to access the social Ape, the lengthening of the times for the folders in the first quarter of 2022.
