“The three crises, war, energy and pandemic, which today are holding back the recovery and impacting work and consumption, which we hope to overcome soon, offer a great opportunity to managers and high-level professionals, the backbone of the country, to be architects of an ethical, moral, civil and cultural reconstruction of Italy “. These are the first words of Stefano Cuzzilla, unanimously elected president of Cida yesterday, the union representation for the management and the high professionalism of all the socio-productive sectors, public and private, which boasts a network of 10 federations representing about 1 million of executives (through the signed national collective labor agreements).
The Cuzzilla era, formerly at the head of Federmanager and 4.Manager, the association formed by Federmanager and Confindustria, opens with a specific commitment: to “push” the confederation towards a new, more functional and incisive governance model, to make it “Protagonist” of the public debate on the decisions that the government intends to take in the economic and social fields. “Taxation, pensions, health care, relations with the territories, inclusive policies and representativeness in Europe: these are the key points on which we will work – explained the new president Cuzzilla to Sole24Ore -. We want our management, public and private, to be represented in the tables on which the future of Italy is determined, starting with the implementation of the NRP, to whose realization we want to strongly contribute. We are ready to implement, with the best managerial skills, the most ambitious plan of reforms and investments for the relaunch of the country “.
Then there is another issue that must be put back at the center of Cida’s action and concerns the “tax burden” which, according to the new president, the ruling class is forced to endure. «Our managers – said Cuzzilla – are among the few who always pay taxes and pay too many. According to Mef data, only 4% of taxpayers declare more than 70 thousand euros, paying 29% of the total income tax. A surreal scenario that highlights the spread of tax and social security evasion in the country. It is unacceptable that, from year to year, the tax burden increases precisely in relation to the categories already harassed ».
