Di Maio: "A blow to work" but Confindustria rejected it

"I am particularly happy as the president of this government that the first decree approved in the social field relates to the recovery of the dignity of workers and enterprises". That's what Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said at a press conference at Palazzo Chigi after the approval of the dignity dl. "Obviously, this government does not contradict the business world, said the Deputy Prime Minister, we will also take steps to promote economic growth, we want a healthy alliance with the world of work and business but we want to counter unwarranted initiatives. " after receiving public support.

The Decree of Dignity – said Minister Luigi Di Maio – is based on "three concepts: we are putting a deadly blow to precarious employment, reject the law on employment, we carry a blow fatal to the most insidious part of the bureaucracy … we want to encourage tax evaders when we want to encourage honest citizens, we are the first EU country to ban gambling and say no to multinationals coming here, take money and move. "

But confindustria rejects the provision.The Dignità decree is" the first real collegiate act of the new executive "and," also for this reason, it is a very strong signal negative for the business world. "Confindustria has taken a firm stance:" the result will be less work, not less precarious "and" also worries that companies have to pay the price of an election run. endless within the majority and that conditions are created to divide the labor market players, with the risk of proposing new oppositions ". "As we have always supported – says Confindustria – it is actually the companies that create the work. The rules can either encourage or discourage development processes and serve to accompany the changes that are occurring, also in the labor market. rule when one must take into account these changes and, above all, the effects produced by the previous ones. "The opposite of what happened with the decree" dignity "- continues the note – While in As the ISTAT data indicates a growing labor market, the government is engaging inversely with some of the innovations that have contributed to this growth. the new rules will be of little use in relation to the declared objective – to counterbalance precariousness – because the impact of fixed-term contracts on all employees is, in Italy, in line with the European average , causing less work, not less precarious It is also worried that companies pay the price of an endless electoral race within the majority and that the conditions are created to divide the market players in the market. work, with the risk of proposing new oppositions. in terms of relocation, Italy is a large industrial country, the second largest manufacturing power in Europe after Germany, and it would have to be a stole to attract investment, domestic and foreign. Those written yesterday, however, investments are likely to discourage them. "It is clear – says Confindustria – to harshly strike the opportunistic behavior of those who engage with the state and do not maintain it, it is a goal we share. But the removal of incentives to strike situations of actual distraction from productive activities and employment bases from Italy is a record; on the other hand, it is important to devise punitive rules that are both broad and general. "The only common denominator of job choices and offshoring – the note concludes – is to make the frame of the rules in which the rules are more uncertain and unpredictable. Italian companies operate: exactly the opposite of the objectives of simplification and bureaucratic slimming declared by the new government at the time of its creation. "
