Unions: 'The government thinks about work not only on May 1'

"It would be useful for the government not to think about work only on May 1st. The measures are going in the wrong direction. And we are very worried".

This was stated by the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini.

It is "an unacceptable method", remarked the secretary of the Cisl, Luigi Sbarra: "He has not activated any phase of confrontation on the job package and on the citizen's income. Before the CDM, it would do well to start it".

"When they say they will be working with the CDM and the kids will be at the big concert, will they explain in the same way that the precariousness will go from one year to three years?" asks Pierpaolo Bombardieri of the Uil.

"It would be useful for the government not to think about work only on May 1st, but every other day of the year," Landini said on Rai at the presentation of the May 1st concert.

"We don't have a problem of foreigners who come to Italy, but of Italians who leave there due to lack of work. Poverty cannot be resolved by canceling the Citizenship Income", continued the number one of the CGIL, adding that "the method implemented by the government not to confront the unions has led us to mobilize".

To increase the dose also Sbarra who reiterated that "on the job package and on the basic income the government has not activated any phase of confrontation with the social partners. We see a succession of drafts that contradict the previous ones, even with sudden changes.
