Load of Giorgia Meloni against the Italian unions. The Italian Prime Minister convened this Monday, Labor Dayan unusual Council of Ministers for the approval of a package of labor measures without consulting the unions involved. “An act arrogant and offensive”, has been the response of the Italian General Confederation of Labor (CGIL), which has pointed out the decision as an attempt by the president to disqualify the unions from their role in contracting on these issues.
The package of measures approved by the Italian Executive also has some fixed moment limits. As announced by Meloni herself, the star measure is a tax cut for workers with incomes of up to 25,000 (7%), in the rate of progression of the tax burden) and 35,000 euros (5%), which will allow an increase in the salaries of up to 100 euro a month.
However, the Government’s proposal would be worth some 4,000 million euros to the state coffers and it would only be in force for six months, from July to December of this year. And, more importantly, the package as a whole still needs to be approved by the two branches of Parliament, which could bring changes, to enter into force.
“Particularly proud”
Hence the response of the CGIL union, which has said that it is a “a temporary measure, which has no perspectiveIt lasts a month.” “There is concern that the measures could increase precariousness”, considered Pierpaolo Bombardieri, leader of the UIL, another union.
The latter is particularly due to other measures announced by Meloni, such as the total cancellation of the so-called citizenship income (the equivalent of the minimum vital income in Spain), which the policy has decided to replace with a inclusion check for families with disabled or elderly dependents. In addition to this, a “easing” of temporary contracts, as well as aid for families with children and for hiring young people under 30 years of age.
“It is a decision that I feel particularly proud”, Meloni responded that by mid-afternoon she had not yet released the text of her decree, refused to respond to the press and that instead I send a video with which he explained his plan. “I really do not understand those who criticize,” added the politician, underlining “the galloping inflation” that is hitting Italians “at the moment.”
mobilizations
A response that obviously has not convinced the CGIL trade unionists, who have already announced that they maintain the call for various demonstrations in the coming days, in various Italian cities. “We will continue to mobilize until they give us answers”, announced Maurizio Landini, the leader of this union. “Italy is not today a republic founded on work, it is today a republic founded on exploitationprecariousness, poverty and the fact that one can be poor still working”, he synthesized.
