EU, green light on the minimum wage in Italy. “Issue to be addressed”
The European Union embraces the idea of M5s and says yes to the proposal of the party led by Giuseppe Conte. The confirmation comes from the words of Nicholas Schmit. “Italy – the European Commissioner for Labor explains to the press – will not be obliged to introduce the minimum salary, but the low level of wages “must be addressed”. It is not for the Commission to decide for the States and it is not my intention to try to persuade a government to introduce it. I know that Italy supports the proposal and this makes me very happy. I don’t want to interfere. I’ll just point out that Italy has a system of very extensive collective bargaining, perhaps the larger than the entire EU, but at the same time there are very low wages. This is an aspect that needs to be addressed “.
Green light from Commissioner Schmit also al Basic income. “I believe – continues Schmit to the Press – it is a right tool to combat poverty and economic and social exclusion. The Commission has always defended it and for this reason I support the government in its decision to keep it. But I agree in saying that conditions must exist. For example, it is necessary to ensure that the beneficiaries follow training courses and go to the looking for a job: only in this way can we help them to reintegrate into the labor market and into social life to be autonomous. A basic income is important to prevent poverty, but we cannot limit ourselves to the subsidy“.
