New mechanisms for leaving work are called for that go beyond the experimentation of “Quota 100” and that avoid the return to the 67-year “tier” of the 67 years in 2022. The meeting, in Rome, between the Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, and the Confederal trade union delegations led by the three general secretaries lasted three hours.
These are the requests of Cgil, Cisl and Uil: the possibility of flexible exit from the age of 62 without contribution recalculation or with 41 years of contributions for everyone regardless of age. On the menu, in addition to the expansion of the social Ape to other disadvantaged jobs and the confirmation of the Woman option, guarantee pensions for young people, new protections for the most vulnerable groups and new reliefs in favor of supplementary pensions could end.
The CGIL
At the end of the meeting, the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, said that “we explained what our platform is but we also explicitly asked the government to tell us whether or not a negotiation can be opened on our platform. In September, therefore, it is necessary to enter into the merits because the type of answers that will be given to us are important and we intend to make a real dispute on this, start a mobilization ».
With regard to resources, Landini observed that “we must go back to separating assistance and social security because if we separate these two expenses, social security spending in our country is not above the European average”. Then he observed that “people have paid a heavy price and there is a need to give a future pension to young people with a guaranteed pension, there is a need to recognize gender differences because women have paid a price. very heavy and there is a need to recognize the diversity of jobs that exist because jobs are not all the same “. “There is a need for a reform – underlined Landini – which is not resolved in Quota 100 and I believe that this is an issue to be addressed”. “We are saying – he added – on the other hand that there is a need for a real tax reform that combats tax evasion because a series of instruments, such as the guarantee pension for young people, need support and resources can be found by combating tax evasion and by making those who do not pay taxes pay ».
Sul green pass
It is right to get vaccinated but any obligation is up to the legislator: in any case it cannot jeopardize the right to work and pay. This is the position of the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, who warns: «I would not want it to become an element of the political campaign and I would like the issue of security to be truly addressed. It is not the time for forcing, it is time to create the consensus and the conditions so that the virus can be beaten but not leaving anyone without work “
The Cisl
«For us we need to affirm the principle that one leaves the labor market at the age of 62, 41 years of contributions regardless of age; that it is necessary to negotiate a guarantee pension for young people trapped in precarious, discontinuous, atypical working careers, including periods of training, care work and phases of work transition. It is necessary to negotiate – he added – important measures for women: it remains central for us to attribute to women one year of contributions for each child so we give value to the family and true support for motherhood; it is also necessary to encourage young people above all to take supplementary pensions and the work of the two commissions that the union has strongly wanted to separate assistance from social security to carry out a truthful operation on costs and on the Italian social security system and to broaden the perimeter of the heavy and tiring work »commented the general secretary of the CISL, Luigi Sbarra. “We must then – he continued – negotiate and deal with measures that also affect current retirees. We think the time is ripe for a strong commitment on the revaluation of pensions and the enlargement of the perimeter of the 14th month. Finally, we must continue the confrontation to win a framework law on non self-sufficiency. “The CISL leader finally explained that he appreciated the work that the two commissions are carrying out, specifying however that the union has urged that the work proceed quickly. “.
The Uil
«We illustrated to the minister the platform that CGIL, CISL, UIL presented a long time ago. Flexibility in leaving from 62, recognition of 41 years of contributions as a valid element to retire, particular attention in building the social security system of the future for young people and women ». Thus the general secretary of Uil Pierpaolo Bombardieri on the sidelines of the discussion table on social security at the Ministry of Labor. “We expect a collegial discussion within the government – he adds – we know that it is not the minister Orlando who decides, we expect the government and the coalition parties to give clear answers. The minister reserved the right to evaluate also in the light of a collegial decision within the government. We expect an answer that gives certainty to workers who have to retire. The discussion will reopen as soon as possible also in August “, but” I don’t know if politics has the same timing “.
