"In reality we need something more than a simple Pact,
a new country project to be built together, with the social partners and political forces
. We need to sit around a table and that is what we are claiming from a bit "with the government, there are issues and reforms that" we must immediately address ". Thus the general secretary of the CGIL,
Maurizio Landini, at the opening of "Futura 2021. Participation. Inclusion. Representation"
, the three-day event promoted by the CGIL in Bologna, returns to the Pact for Italy. "We are not afraid of words, we are interested in content", he adds.
"I'm interested in a real Italy project that puts work back at the center" and, Landini remarks, "it's time for a law on representation" also considering that there is "an unprecedented amount of pirate contracts", which "establishes the value of national contracts ". Among the issues to be addressed, the number one of the CGIL refers to the tax reform, pensions and social safety nets, which must be discussed in view of the next budget law, a "good" industrial policy that "must create jobs, not precarious but stable, it must give jobs to young people and women, relaunch the South. We have already made two agreements with this government, the Pact for schools and for the PA ", but in addition to" making them, they must be applied ", he adds.And speaking of the contents, "in some of the things said yesterday by Confindustria I see differences of merit. The employment that is being created is too precarious. The problem is not whether we make agreements, which are important, but the contents and for which project. The contents are decisive. What makes the difference is whether we speak to the real country or not ", continues Landini, giving the example of pensions and work.
"We cannot go from the virus pandemic to the wage pandemic,"
Landini later said. We must "avoid the wage pandemic" and to do so we must put "the quality of work" at the center, say "enough precariousness, change the wrong laws that governments of the right and left have made in recent years", argues Landini.
Enrico Letta at "Futura 2021. Participation. Inclusion. Representation". The social pact proposed yesterday by Prime Minister Mario Draghi "must have a place for discussion, for example the discussion on the implementation of the NRP must take place with a control room where there are representatives of the social partners", said
the secretary of the Democratic Party
. "Landini said important things compared to what happened yesterday" and his substantial opening "is important". "With Landini - explains Letta - we have seen and talked for months, I claim that the pact for growth is an idea of the Democratic Party and we have talked about it with trade unions and social partners".
It is time to "open the discussion in Italy on the subject of the minimum wage, the discussion is ready, it is happening all over Europe, I am in favor of this discussion", explained Letta again.
