A sliding scale of work injury compensation. In the last six months there has been a big swing in the assessment of compensation for accident victims. It all begins at the end of 2022: the Meloni government, which has just taken office, has a few days to launch a maneuver that requires an effort to protect families at a time of high energy costs and galloping inflation. But an Inail technical actuarial note, which calculates the potential number of injuries and the foreseeable allocation for the relatives of the victims of the white deaths, makes it necessary to increase the Fund. The maximum compensation thus falls from the original 22,000 euros to just under 14,000.
If the figures remained these, it would be a sort of spending review on the skin of those affected by an accident at work that has sparked many protests. And the Minister of Labour, Marina Calderone, has decided to take measures. In the text of Legislative Decree 48, approved in the Senate, the minister backed and supported the amendment by Paola Mancini (FdI) which requests that 5 million more be allocated to accidents at work. In this way the escalator restarts and repositions the maximum amount of compensation upwards, even exceeding the pre-existing maximum amount of 22,000 euros. The amendment goes hand in hand with the other compensations for students who are victims of accidents at school or in related activities (such as school-work alternation), approved (basically definitively) yesterday in the Senate, again on a proposal from the Minister of Labour.
Now the provision goes to the Chamber but will be armored and approved with a motion of confidence, given the deadline of July 3 for conversion into law. A demonstration of attention towards families who have suffered significant losses and how politics knows how to be attentive to the needs of citizens, workers and businesses when it wants to.
