Perhaps it will be due to its complexity and the prevalence of technical-operational implications that the agreement ''Proposals for labor policies'', signed on 1st September last by CGIL, CISL and UIL and Confindustria managed to cross the news without being subjected to demanding investigations and being able to rely, on the media that have written and talked about it, only on the uncritical repetition of the judgment expressed by stipulating subjects.
To tell the truth, to fully understand the regulated cases, a guide would be needed; but an overview is sufficient to grasp the ''mission'' of that agreement, the content of which is addressed to the Government so that, in the next stability law, useful measures are adopted (necessarily corrective of the innovative legislation on shock absorbers social) to "accompany the transition" towards the new balance, introduced by the jobs act and by the implementing provisions, between passive and active labor policies. In essence, say the social partners, the new rules provide for a downsizing of passive policy instruments with a view to strengthening active ones which "however, has not yet been completed and will only fully unfold its effects within the next three years provided that the necessary resources are appropriately allocated".
This, both in consideration of "the persistence of a phase of low economic growth, and for the uncertainty on the timing of full implementation of the new system of active policies". To be realistic, the concerns of the trade unions and Confindustria are not completely unfounded, even if the recent history of labor market law (by now it is a subject of specific university teaching) is there to demonstrate - from the Treu package onwards - that the management of Transition has always determined an ultra-activity of the past and a postponement "dead father" of the future.
To this observation, the signatories of the agreement of 1 September would reply that, in the structure of the agreement, things have changed and that, indeed, it is their intention to anticipate as much as possible the "operational relocation plan" that will be addressed and set up in a contextual way right from the first reorganization and restructuring operations, through the extraordinary redundancy fund (then what to say about the fact that, in the agreement, employment centers and employment agencies are not even mentioned?).
