Well the measures for the administered but now also the collaborators must be restored, still without protections. To ask for it are NIdiL Cgil, Felsa Cisl and Uiltemp. “The conversion of the Sostegni decree into law has brought some significant innovations for atypical workers, in particular for those in temporary employment: the one-off allowance for those who have had a contract in the past for at least 30 days in recent years and the recognition of ‘Covid indemnity for health workers. With these two measures, two exclusions are remedied which as a union we have repeatedly denounced in this year and which have seen workers mobilized and also engaged in strike initiatives “, affirm the three unions. “If these elements undoubtedly constitute a step forward in the protection of non-standard workers, once again about 100 thousand collaborators, coordinated and continuous and occasional autonomous, are left without protection, the only category that continues not to benefit from concrete help in this still uncertain phase of the economy and of work “, they denounce.
“We strongly claim – continue the trade unions – the need to guarantee income protection and access to social benefits as soon as possible for the hundreds of thousands of employees of the Inps separate management, workers who, albeit with an existing employment contract, in many cases suspended due to absence or decrease in working activity, they have been living for months in a condition of lack of income and impossibility of access to unemployment. As is necessary, in the face of reduced or completely absent contributions from the beginning of 2020, to protect the access pathways to benefits such as sickness or maternity by allowing the recovery of the contribution requirements in the pre-pandemic periods “.
“For the same reason, this specific neutralization measure should also be extended to professionals of the Inps separate management who have undergone a significant contraction in their activity in the last year and a half. The exclusion of co. co.co. from the disease for the Covid quarantine periods, just as occasional collaborators with low income continue to be excluded from any form of income protection – the largest audience in this category – who do not have contributions and therefore access to compensation measures provided. Even in the DL Sostegni bis launched by the Government in these hours, these situations do not seem to be considered. We ask the Government and Parliament that, even in these cases, action is taken to remedy all these problems with concrete measures “, they conclude. Nidil, Felsa and Uiltemp who will evaluate the initiatives to be implemented in support of these requests.
