CGIL, measures inconsistent with the country’s situation

“The great concern for what is happening and above all for the picture of uncertainty and progressive worsening that is looming for our country in relation to a double impact: the pandemic and the war” said the deputy secretary general of the CGIL Gianna Fracassi. “This double impact risks having a heavy impact on workers, pensioners, and in general on the weakest sections of the population.” «The picture that the Def draws seems to us on the one hand very optimistic with respect to the prospects, starting from the same assessment of inflation, which risks being much higher. On the other hand, we point out that the measures mentioned in the Def, some measures that will be anticipated with the “April decree”, do not seem consistent with the situation our country is going through ».

CGIL, intervene on extra-profits and assets of one million

To recover resources “we believe that in addition to the deficit interventions, this is the moment of solidarity,” says the CGIL with the deputy secretary general Fracassi. «We have proposed to intervene through two instruments – she explains – essentially an expansion of the taxation on extra profits, which we believe are very relevant, especially on some fronts, on some sectors. Obviously, there is also a need to review the rules of the energy market, but this is a European issue that I believe is known to all ». “The other terrain – she adds – is that of a solidarity contribution for great wealth, large assets at least over a million euros. I believe that from this point of view it would be a signal, among other things in part already mentioned in December by the Prime Minister himself ». “At this stage – warns the CGIL – we believe it is necessary to give a clear-cut answer, which is important to support the social condition of the most vulnerable groups”.

CISL, it is unacceptable to give up inflation recovery

The CISL, with the confederal secretary Ignazio Ganga, underlines: “The trend scenario of the Def, assumes a substantial renunciation of the workers to recover inflation which obviously cannot agree”. “If the government itself estimates that the surge in prices is the result of speculation that, for a few companies, would produce at least 40 billion euros in extraordinary profits, it cannot be peacefully accepted that the price of this speculation is passed on to the workers, nor it can be taken for granted that market trends will redeem over time the economic effects of behaviors that have little to do with the market and that, rather, seem to be the result of a sort of oligopolistic cartel among the distributors of energy products “. “Our request – continues the CISL – is therefore to convene a technical table between the Government and the social partners as soon as possible to verify the actual trend in the prices of imported energy and sterilize the deduction applied to the HICP in determining the indicators for contractual increases the part of inflation not attributable to the same “.

Uil: partial vision, does not capture pandemic and war

“The Def has not fully grasped all the news that there are at this moment in which the pandemic that is not over yet, indeed has very heavy effects, has been added to the dramatic story of the war in Ukraine”, says Uil in the hearing on the Def, with the confederal secretary Domenico Proietti. In the Def there is a “partial vision”, the Uil warns, while there is “the need to frame it in an overall vision”, and which is also linked to the PNRR. Among the various points highlighted, the UIL also asks for a “new budget gap”. And to “increase taxation on extra-profits”, in the energy sector, bringing it from 10 to 30% but also extending it “to all other activities that even during the pandemic have made incredible profits”. Then we need “an epochal turning point in the fight against tax evasion in order not to perpetrate a profound injustice”.

Ulgiati (Ugl), there is no intervention on labor costs

«In the Document of economics and finance there is no intervention on the cost of labor. In the absence of a targeted fiscal intervention and observing the progressive reduction of productivity contracts signed with the replacement rate at 10%, employees, as a whole, will end up further impoverishing, thus fueling a negative spiral on consumption, with inevitable consequences. on employment levels. The tax exemption of contract renewals could, in such a scenario, favor the progressive realignment of real wages to the cost of living ». This was declared by UGL Deputy Secretary General Luigi Ulgiati during his hearing before the Budget Committees of the Chamber and Senate.
