Unblocking layoffs? Optimistic about integrating tools available with others

As for the release of layoffs at the end of the month and a possible “political” solution to extend the stop, Orlando clarified his position: “My proposal is known, the state of the art is known, it is known that in At the moment, Parliament has not found an agreement that addresses that specific point – he said -. However, I am optimistic about the fact that the tools currently available can be integrated with other tools that help to tackle difficult situations and go in the direction of taking into account, as mentioned in recent weeks, the different extent of the impact of the crisis on the various sectors. and on the state of difficulty that was often determined also with respect to the covid in a previous way ». “There are all the conditions to strengthen the tools and to manage the steps we face,” he added. As for the pressure of the trade unions to obtain an extension at least until the end of October which will be reiterated on June 26th in a series of unitary demonstrations by Cgil, Cisl and Uil Orlando said that “I do not make predictions about the level of satisfaction of the unions because it is it is proper to social dialogue to try to mend the distances and promote confrontation “.

Ilva ruling is one less obstacle for the government

The minister also spoke of the former Ilva. “On Ilva – he said – the positive conclusion of the dispute is one less obstacle to achieving the plan that the government has devised for the steel sector and for the green conversion of the pole”. Orlando then commented on the protest of the Whirpool workers. «I can only point out that this is a company that has taken a lot of public resources – he acknowledged -. For the rest, I believe that the government must take all initiatives to maintain the occupational stability, which at this point is moving towards reindustrialisation ».

Eliminate the pay gap between men and women

Female employment and gender inequalities, the elimination of the pay gap between men and women in the labor market, the adaptation of social protection systems to the changes taking place, the regulation of increasingly widespread forms of work such as remote and that via digital platforms. These are the three issues addressed by the G20 labor ministers in the final declaration. Themes that the Italian Presidency wanted to put at the center of the reflection and debate of this year’s work. «More and better jobs for women, paid as much as men. This – underlined Orlando – is the principle enshrined in a declaration that wants to go beyond the goal of reducing the gap in participation in the labor market by 25% by 2025 set in Brisbane in 2014 by the leaders of the G20, to promote the ‘female employment tout court, with particular attention to the quality of work and the elimination of the gender pay gap ”.
