“Elon Musk has one thing in common with me. Musk says I want you in attendance, I had also told public employees a year earlier: once the pandemic health needs have come under control, presence is fundamental, or rather, regulation is essential ». This is what the Minister for Public Administration Renato Brunetta affirmed speaking at the Festival of Innovation of the Sheet.
“I gave an employment contract to smart working that was not there before, I also said without regulating the presence there is a risk of destroying a public human capital that does not exist in itself but exists to provide services”. »The purpose», he continued, «is to provide the best services to citizens and the doctor, the nurse, must be in the presence, the head of the registry office, the carabiniere too. There was a debate: the executives, but have you ever seen an executive remotely? ” concluded Brunetta.
Who then tackled the minimum wage issue: «I prefer the real contract, not a pirate one, to a definition by law (of the minimum wage) that does more damage than it solves. Improvised connoisseurs of the subject start making proclamations without having the knowledge, culture, technicality – underlined Brunetta – and for once the union is tetragonal, it is structured and gives us ‘guarantees’. According to the minister, a minimum wage defined by law “flattens and would produce opportunistic behavior”, while in Italy there is a very strong level of bargaining that gives ‘more guarantees’.
