"The Italians ask for everything except to go to the streets. This is not the right way".
It is the prospect of a general strike in December that still divides industrialists and trade unions.
The president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi, from the Small Industry Forum in Alba, comments on the words of the Cigl leader, Maurizio Landini, in an interview with La Stampa which headlines: "Strike if the workers are not listened to. Draghi postpones and not solves problems ".
Then from the stage he says: "It is still believed that the blackmail of the strike is a means of obtaining what one asks for, a means that leads to refusing any confrontation with the rest of the world of work, and then one complains. solutions are found together, not by striking ". On issues such as the labor market, young people, women, "we must put people at the center not to evoke the specter of a slave-master class struggle". To mark the distances between trade unions and industrialists is also the issue of the 8 billion envisaged to reduce taxes: they must be used, says Landini, "all to increase the net paycheck for employees and retirees"; "Other than Irap cut". Bonomi replies: "Most likely" the leader of the CGIL "has not listened to what Confindustria has been saying for months. More than declaring it to us who want to put more money in the pockets of the Italians ... It seems to me that we really want to seek controversy, and frankly we don't care ".
The IRAP?
"We must eliminate a hateful tax", is the position of the industrialists reaffirmed by Carlo Robiglio.
And on the maneuver, Bonomi says: "For all the measures that involve companies and the world of work, companies are not listened to. We should have the humility to listen, perhaps from someone who has never worked a day in his life": the example is that of the "four billion allocated to employment centers".
