Bonomi to trade unions: contract renewal but they are revolutionary

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 28 - "To the accusation that the union leaders have made to Confindustria of not wanting the contracts, we have clearly replied that Confindustria wants to sign and renew the contracts. Only we want them to be 'revolutionary'". According to what he learned from ANSA, the president of Confindustria writes it in an internal letter sent today to all presidents of the industrial representation system. Carlo Bonomi lingers for a long time, in eight pages. on the issues addressed in his first hundred days as president and on the challenges of next autumn. Like the one on contracts, with the trade unions that Confindustria will meet on 7 September: the industrial leader hopes, revolutionary contracts "with respect to the old exchange of the early twentieth century between wages and hours". "not because we are revolutionaries, an adjective that just doesn't suit us, but - he explains - because in the meantime it is the work and it is the technologies, the markets and the products, the ways to produce and distribute them, to have revolutionized, all and infinite times compared to decades ago ".
    "While it is true that no one was prepared to manage the effects of a pandemic of this nature, it is equally true that all the measures implemented in recent months, which have committed substantial resources for about 100 billion euros, have not solved any knot that harnesses the growth of our Country ", says Bonomi, also dwelling on the impact of the Covid emergency and on the action of the Government: the" public measures "in these months of emergency he says," have seen us express a strong underlying criticism, respectful of the prerogatives of the Government, but so far unresolved "; "The numerous specific interventions, the fragmented bonuses and the new funds opened in each ministry, were certainly not the articulated and effective response we were expecting".
