Nobody says no to the pact to change Italy proposed yesterday by Mario Draghi, but everyone adds a detail and “parties must not be kept out”. In this context, a debate breaks out: the minimum wage. On the stage of Futura, the three-day CGIL event in Bologna, the secretary Maurizio Landini, who on Monday together with Cisl and Uil will be at Palazzo Chigi, introduces the concept of a “wage pandemic”: “I prefer to call it a” project “rather than a pact. it’s fine for me to find shared solutions, but I prefer to understand what the arguments are. Yesterday the premier spoke of a shared economic perspective and this is a relevant thing “. At the Duse theater there is also Enrico Letta and, connected from Rome, Giuseppe Conte, the two almost allies find a harmony on the minimum wage, the accents are different, but the substance does not change. According to the secretary of the Democratic Party, “it is time to introduce the debate on the minimum wage, it is a European theme such as the guarantee of full employability. To unite the civil rights of people and work as emancipation, the good work. I am firmly convinced that in Italy we are behind on both points of view and I will continue to fight to keep this path together and to move forward on certain matters in Parliament ».
The social pact proposed yesterday by Prime Minister Mario Draghi “must have a place for discussion, the discussion for example on the implementation of the NRP must take place with a control room where there are representatives of the social partners,” said Letta. “Landini has said important things compared to what happened yesterday” and his substantial opening “is important”. “With Landini – explains Letta – we have seen and talked for months, I claim that the pact for growth is an idea of the Democratic Party and we have talked about it with trade unions and social partners”.
The leader of the Five Stars indicates his priorities to be included in the pact launched by Draghi: «Job security, which cannot be ignored. And a minimum wage, a battle of which we are convinced, because the so-called poor work does not favor a good allocation in the labor market and the quality of life without which we cannot fight the demographic decline. I believe that the conditions are there, this does not mean marginalizing collective bargaining, but we have to get around a table, grab this battle ». Conte also asked Draghi something: «A pact to restore strength and balance to work and businesses is very important but it makes no sense to keep parties and political forces out. Then the parties must make a responsible contribution. It would be folly to exclude political forces ”.
