Despite a 7,000 euro fine imposed on him by the Labor Inspectorate, the owner of a clothing store in Asiago (Vicenza) has returned to post an advertisement in the window offering work to "eighteen-year-old shop assistants free from family commitments".
"I am a freelancer who does not depend on any union - said the trader, Mario Dal Sasso, interviewed by Il Giornale di Vicenza - and who has the right to do what he wants in his own company. The cartel does not offend anyone, it is not in no way derogatory but clear in the figure we are trying to include in our business. We do not understand this fury towards us by some unions,
Dal Sasso had been fined by the Inspectorate for violating Article 27 of the Code of Equal Opportunities, which prohibits "any discrimination with regard to access to work, in subordinate, autonomous or in any other form, including the criteria of selection and conditions of employment ".
