Exoduses: eternal problem, silent Renzi

The premier, generally very talkative, says nothing about the redundancies - Yet the problem has not yet been resolved or rather could be resolved definitively with an unacceptable drain on public finances - The Labor commission of the Chamber has drawn up a text that would lead to 47 billion the funds to be spent in ten years

Exoduses: eternal problem, silent Renzi

Here are the exodates. It is good that those who judged that problem (so much "felt" in the last months of the past legislature) resolved or in the process of definitive solution change their mind, since it no longer happened to see the representatives of the "category" (it would be better to use the plural due to the many cases in which the phenomenon occurs) as guests of honor on all television talk shows, to read their deeds in the newspapers and to hear their social and human drama evoked in the promises of political leaders.

But, as we know, the media are ruthless and, in the spasmodic search for new stories, they don't take long to set aside those protagonists they have built themselves, whose case, at a certain stage, "made the news", thanks to the term "exodus". , derived from the trade union-bureaucratic newspeak, but capable of evoking biblical scenarios. In truth, even the most well-informed and well-informed observers – those who are not reduced to getting information by zapping through the usual fascist programs – were convinced that, at least, the obsession with safeguarded CDs had found some answers. It was enough to remember that in the stability law for 2014 the government had taken steps to include another 10 cases (thus bringing, with no less than five interventions, around 140 those safeguarded for an amount, over the next few years, of a dozen billion).

For more, even the news from INPS was quite comforting, as it appeared that the requests for "safeguard" (i.e. to retire with the pre-existing requirements with respect to the Fornero law) accompanied by the required requisites, were fewer than that indicated, year after year, in the forecasts. Therefore, it was also possible to make savings to be allocated to the solidarity fund in order to broaden the audience of those protected. 

Venenum in cauda, the prime minister's silence was striking on the subject of the exodus, usually very talkative. Thus, from Matteo Renzi's frankness we expected a nice: "Go to work!", Which is the real way to respond to the protagonists of this age-old catchphrase. In fact, it is not a dogma that, if you lose your job after the age of 50, the only alternative is to cross the threshold of retirement as soon as possible, after having spent as long a period as possible in the labyrinth of shock absorbers social.

If we consider, for example, the mandatory communications data (those acts that companies are required to perform towards the Ministry of Labor at each hiring, renewal or transformation of the contract) it appears that the relationships activated for workers aged 55 and over , were 927 thousand in 2012 (concerning 563 thousand workers) and 912 thousand in 2013 (concerning 539 thousand workers).

As mentioned at the beginning, the ghosts of the past sometimes return. It was the usual Labor Commission of the Chamber that made the table dance, which has now become the "eagle's nest" of the left Pd (the president, Cesare Damiano, is not one of those who change line after Renzi's victory in the European elections). Also this time Damiano brought with him the entire Commission which approved a text which unified a series of bills presented by all the most important groups. Obviously, the Commission proceeded to consult everyone: the trade unions, the various committees and so on. Even the EU Commissioner Laszlo Andor took action, answering a question, by flashing the possibility of making use of the European Social Fund to tackle the problem of expatriates (although his suggestion seems more aimed at a commitment of placement rather than retirement).

Naturally, the text (we could say the dream) of the Employment Commission broke against the negative judgment of the State Accounting Office (God rest his soul!) and INPS, which calculated the cumulative cost of the operation to be 47 billion over a decade. The provision should have gone to the Chamber on June 23, but the government obtained a one-week technical postponement.

In any case, the Democratic Party and the Northern League are very insistent on going to the Assembly and the president Laura Boldrini has undertaken to allow it. But the figures are nonetheless prohibitive and the coverage inadequate. The latest attempt consists in evaluating the amounts "saved" (the largest are in the second and fifth safeguard interventions) to allocate them to the expansion of the perimeter to other cases. In particular, an attempt is being made to at least extend the period within which the safeguards operate by one year (i.e. until 6 January 2016). But for this measure, the hedging burden remains unaffordable.
