Reform contracts, Giorgio Squinzi down the negotiating table with the unions – The Huffington Post

“Chapter closed” on the reform of contracts. The leader of Confindustria, Giorgio Squinzi, puts a full stop: “We realized the impossibility of carrying out any negotiations with the union. We have no room for maneuver in order to continue the conversation on contracts in the traditional way.” Jump so the comparison strongly backed by Confindustria to review the rules on contracts, chased for months and actually never started, so much so that last September 22 at the first meeting of the technical committee that was supposed to start negotiations on the substance, in Confindustria, has only presented the Cisl.

It opens the way for intervention by law on the rules for bargaining, for the first time on a playing field until now reserved for agreements between social partners. The same Squinzi warns now on “somehow could even enter the government”; and he adds: “We hope that you do not combine the damage.” Besides Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has never ruled out, had indeed invited the social partners to move quickly toward a renewal of rules judged not postponed, so as to make any legislation necessary.

The deal is not therefore never really left, with the CGIL and UIL that – as a condition before sitting down at a table – had asked to close before the game of the renewed collective agreements expired or expires (in the first instance nutritionists, chemical and metal workers). And it is hard to attack the trade unions of the president of Confindustria, speaking after a meeting in Milan at Assolombarda with all trade associations that have contracts to be renewed in the coming months. “The positions of the union, first of all, are unrealistic in the monetary and then also for the future of our country”, says: “If the union does so no more margins. For months, at least from July, they take to slaps and waive all our openings. We take note “.

There will be no impact on individual negotiations for renewals, guarantees Squinzi:” Given that, contrary to what says Ms. Camusso, we do not want reduce wages, do not want to block the negotiations, every deal has its own autonomy and also do not ask for a moratorium in any way. ” Via Astronomy define a document in the next few days with its proposals to rewrite labor relations, also with a “Decalogue of the things you can and what can not be done in any negotiations that the categories deemed to carry on.” In any case, “the individual categories are free: to those who think going forward the autonomy there.”

“The president of Confindustria says the right”, is the replica of the UIL leader Carmelo Barbagallo: “They are from shore to a possible intervention of the government. This is a film that we would not like to see”; “In the last meeting we agreed that the tables category for the renewal of contracts and the interconfederal to reform the contractual model would have to proceed simultaneously and independently: he forgot, and what they did in Confindustria since February, when we presented our proposal for reform, until July? They slept? “.

Meanwhile, before the words of Squinzi, the leader of the CISL Annamaria Furlan had reiterated his position:” I do not give up: the social partners must play the way their role and assume their responsibilities “; the current contract model “belongs to the past, it is clear that we need a new one, retaining the national contract but by focusing on productivity and therefore on the second level.”
