Ilva, Whirlpool and rider: the ok to the decree is played at the photo finish

The provision is bogged down by the government crisis and there are now only a few days left to approve it: the Taranto steel mill risks closing on 6 September

Ilva, Whirlpool and rider: the ok to the decree is played at the photo finish

Ilva, Whirlpool, riders, Anpal, Inps. There is a bit of everything in the decree "For the protection of work and for the resolution of company crises", a fundamental measure to save thousands of jobs but which the August government crisis put at risk. Approved at the beginning of the month "subject to agreements", the text was then bogged down due to the reversal decided by Matteo Salvini. And now we have to go in a hurry: the ministries must produce their observations by Monday.

ILVA

If the decree is not dismissed, the most serious consequences will be for theIlva. The giant ArcelorMittal, owner of the Taranto steelworks, has made it clear for some time that it will close the factories on 6 September if criminal immunity is not restored for the execution of the environmental plan. The guarantee had been canceled by the yellow-green government with the growth decree.

WHIRLPOOL

But the provision to be approved also contains the rules for the Whirlpool. The company is never mentioned, but the exemption from the additional contribution for the extraordinary redundancy fund is mainly intended for her. In the explanatory report to the text we read that "the expected benefit must not be read as a loan to the company, but as a system of protection for the purpose of maintaining employment levels".

RIDER

In the decree there are then the rules on RIDER: those enrolled in the separate management will need only one month of contributions paid in the previous year (no longer 3) to benefit from maternity, parental leave, sickness and hospital stay. The latter allowance is increased by 100%. The economic treatment, on the other hand, will be a mix of piecework (which in any case should not be the "prevailing" payment method), wages and incentives. The definition of the schemes is left "to the negotiating autonomy" between the peers. However, there is no uncertainty about the compulsory nature of insurance coverage.

ANPAL SERVICES AND INPS

For Anpal Services e INPS, the decree provides for increases in personnel linked to historical precarious workers and the need to work on the Citizenship Income
