Sangalli: “A minimum wage is not needed against social dumping”

by admin

The solution to combat “social dumping is not the minimum wage by law” but “is the national collective agreement: the one stipulated by truly representative parties – which guarantees adequate wages and a modern health and social security welfare system”. This was stated by the president of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli, at the assembly of the confederation, underlining that “contracts remain a formidable instrument of protection and promotion, not only of work, but in general of people and their skills”.

Sangalli continues: «An instrument that is all the more important in the context of good managed and negotiated flexibility. Productivity, growth and growth of income from work. This is the virtuous circuit around which to bring together the commitments of the public part – through reforms and good investments – and the commitments of the social partners. This is the virtuous circuit that must be enhanced in the new season of contract renewals, which involve millions of people, with the related welfare services. This is the Pact that is needed to put policies, measures and resources – public and private – to be mobilized to face the challenges of innovation and sustainability at the center of the agenda, starting with the service economy that Confcommercio represents ».

Remaining on the difficulties in the world of work, «as regards the layoffs, other monthly payments without charges have been hypothesized in recent weeks, until the end of the state of emergency. Well, it must be done ». “In the same way – he adds -, the resources for the management of the Covid quarantine as a disease must be ensured. And, if I may say, a substantial commitment to occupational safety with a non-formalistic approach is needed. And – he concludes – I want to say one thing about the financing of social safety nets, which, sustainable and inclusive, must respond to a very simple rule: the more you use them, the more you contribute ».
