“This abstract debate must be overcome. We need an overall reform that ensures fairness and flexibility”. This is what the secretary general of the CISL, Luigi Sbarra underlines, in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “Pensions are deferred wages and cannot be considered a detail in the accounting system of the State.
This is often forgotten. They are neither a luxury nor a gift but the main instrument of our social state, a fundamental right of the person after years of working activity. We must give stability to the system by focusing on flexibility, leaving people the choice of when to retire after the age of 62 or with 41 years of contributions, regardless of age, knowing full well that not all jobs are the same and that therefore, not even the pension rules can be “.
As for the resources, continues the leader of the CISL, “those planned are insufficient. The time has come to reinvest part of the savings accumulated by the Fornero law and those not used for Quota 100 in line with the contents of our platform”, adds Sbarra who on quota 100 he specifies: “We were certainly not among the avid supporters of Quota 100, which penalized above all women, private workers with discontinuous careers, those of small businesses and the south. It was however a small window of flexibility. “.
On the budget law, the CISL leader underlines: “There is a dialogue and a confrontation that must be bridged immediately on the choices of a maneuver that must aim at growth, investments, reducing inequalities. Certainty of resources are needed for hiring and stabilization in the public administration and in schools. We must, then, guarantee the renewal of public contracts. Even the reduction of the tax wedge must be the result of an agreement with the social partners and not a war on those who shout the most “. Finally, on the social pact and the perplexities of the industrialists, Sbarra says he is optimistic.
“Confindustria is well aware that there is only one way to get out of the storm and change the country: responsibility, dialogue, participation. When the institutions involve the economic and social forces, the results arrive. It is time for a great alliance between institutions, work and business “, concludes the Cisl leader.
