Cgil-Uil strike, Welfare Minister Andrea Orlando: understandable, but based on an assumption that cannot be shared
The general strike on Thursday called by CGIL And Uil “It seems legitimate, understandable, but based on an assumption that cannot be shared: that is, that with a single parliamentary passage, with this political framework and with the pandemic not yet behind us, we can erase the underlying tendencies that characterize our model of development”. This was stated, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, on Welfare Minister Andrea Orlando, for which “it is time not to interrupt the confrontation”. “A lot has been played in these days on understanding and not understanding, on being surprised or not. To me, objectively, it is not surprising that the union is under very strong pressure to take an initiative. There is an evident malaise in society, also because the pandemic has made clear the distortions of the labor market and the dimensions of poor work », underlines Orlando. So the reasons for calling a strike were there? «I mean – replies the minister – that I understand that the pandemic has aggravated already intolerable inequalities and that the recovery figures still hide strong elements of precariousness. After all, Covid-19 has created a new awareness of the errors inherent in some choices made on welfare systems and on the labor market in the last twenty years. And I understand that all this is a source of great social tension, in Italy and in Europe “. And, he continues,” I take the liberty of speculating that what has been determined over a period of twenty years cannot be overturned in a single budget law. The relevant question here is whether this budget law reverses the trend of the last twenty years, or not. And it seems to me so “.
Solidarity contribution of the highest income brackets, Orlando: mistake that it is skipped, act of dullness of the right
For Orlando, moreover, the fact that the solidarity contribution of the higher income brackets was skipped was “a mistake and an act of obtuseness of the right, which rejected Mario Draghi’s proposal. But let’s see what there is. in the budget law and around it There is a reform of the social safety nets that extends the rights to figures who had few or no rights, both in the continuation of the employment relationship and in the event of end of job loss, especially to precarious workers. Also the balance point that has been found between the cut in the tax on personal income, Irpef, and on businesses, with thelrap, certainly does not penalize the world of dependent work. Then there is an investment in the essential levels of social benefits and the indexing for the pensions. Furthermore, the number of heavy workers admitted is expanding Social bee. For the first time, a fund for gender pay equality is established. It is difficult to deny – he highlights – that steps have been taken in the direction of widening the protections. Added to this are the investments in social and active policies that the union hoped for “
