"The coordination of inspection activities and the strengthening of the sanctioning system in relation to subcontracting and illicit and fraudulent administration" are envisaged.

This was reported in a note from Palazzo Chigi after the

meetings between the executive and trade union and employer representatives on health and safety in the workplace

.

"The Government, in illustrating to the parties the contents of the new regulations on safety at work, underlined that the issue has been under the attention of the Executive since its inauguration with specific interventions by the Ministry of Labor and that the discussion on safety will continue already initiated with the social partners".

This was reported in a note from Palazzo Chigi.

"The details of the measures - it is explained - will be discussed in today's Council of Ministers".

The builders are asking the Government for "a construction pact".

The president of ANCE,

Federica Brancaccio

, arriving at Palazzo Chigi for the meetings on workplace safety, announces that she will ask for "a permanent table with the social partners for the rights and duties of company workers, permanent monitoring, with proposals".

And she reiterates: "You can't act on emotions, with your gut: the matter is complex."

We need "safety training for anyone who sets foot on the construction site" and "correct application of collective agreements" with "welfare, supplementary social security, health fund, mandatory training".

Sbarra, positive meeting with the government on job security

"A positive and appreciable meeting, in which the government illustrated some elements that will characterize the next safety decree, opening up to the union's contribution for improvements and additions".

Thus the

general secretary of the CISL, CISL, Luigi Sbarra.

"Minister Calderone has announced her desire to strengthen controls, inspections, hiring, sanctions, investments. Measures that can be partly shared", which now "must be linked to an overall and concerted national strategy", she states, asking to "give continuity to the discussion" and to build a pact "to put an end to a silent massacre" at work.

Bombers, 'a worker's life is worth 20 credits

"Here people continue to die, we have plenty of talk", says the leader of the Uil, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, of today's meeting with the Government on safety at work.

"Partial answers" and "in a climate that is not what there should be when it comes to deaths at work".

"We are not".

"Too shy", and "there is no clear economic coverage".

"Everything is to be decided and defined."

Among the answers "there is a credit licence, but the life of a worker is worth 20 credits: you can work with 15 and 5 can be recovered with a training course".

"We have not been able to understand what economic coverage will be needed to make new hires" for checks and inspections, says Bombardieri after the meeting at Palazzo Chigi.

"And we are not there - he continues - because on security issues we should have the ability to delve deeper, to discuss: the text of a possible decree was delivered to us this morning, and not even in an organic way but in a disjointed way".

On previously announced measures such as the credit licence, with a "partially different" approach from the points-based license proposed by the unions, with the life of a worker valued at 20 credits.

"there is an assessment" by the Government "that appears far from respect for human lives and from the need to intervene with investments and resources on a topic that is equivalent to a massacre".

"Even from a criminal point of view - continues the Uil leader - we are told that they are available to discuss homicide at work during the parliamentary process: I remember that this is the Government that introduced nautical homicide. Yes talks about tightening of penalties but we haven't understood what the repercussions are."
