Jobs Act: yes by the House, now in the Senate

Green light from the Chamber to the Ddl delegation on work. The so-called Jobs Act, for which it was thought to close (in Montecitorio) between today and tomorrow, has thus speeded up the times and is already ready to now return to the examination of the Senate. In the vote on the measure there were 316 votes in favor and six against. They did not participate in the vote by leaving the Chamber M5s, Forza Italia and Lega, More thirty 'dissident' deputies from the Democratic Party who, a few minutes before the final vote, signed a document explaining the reasons for their dissent. While the component of Goofy Civati she spoke out against. Francesco Saverio Romano of Forza Italia and Gianni Melilla of SEL also voted no while remaining in the Chamber, while Massimo Corsaro, of Fratelli d'Italia-An, voted yes in dissent from the group.

Voting on the amendments to the text had restarted today in the Montecitorio Hall: yesterday all the proposed modifications had been rejected and the vote on a final amendment, which was rejected, was still missing. Then we moved on to examining about sixty agendas, for which the Assembly voted to give the green light to the reform. The battle now moves to the Senate.

Fassina acknowledged that the work in the Commission in the Chamber has improved the text "but - he underlined - negative evaluations remain on the decisive points". For example, there is a lack of resources for active and passive policies, and the same funds for shock absorbers in 2015 are less than those for layoffs in derogation in 2014. There are also criticisms of the rules on dismissals, demotion and remote controls. “Even the words of the Prime Minister in recent weeks – she commented – do not help for a positive assessment”.

 In the passage to the Chamber of the Legislative Decree on work (Jobs act) the i terms of the protections provided for the cases of dismissals for economic or disciplinary reasons. Innovations, with respect to the provisions of the Workers' Statute, which concern new permanent hires, 'with increasing protection' and which must be set out in the implementing decrees which, according to the commitments undertaken by the Government, must enter into force from the beginning of 2015. Thus, "for economic dismissals, the possibility of reinstating the worker in the workplace was excluded, providing for certain economic compensation that increases with length of service" and limited "the right of reinstatement to null and discriminatory dismissals and to specific cases of unjustified disciplinary dismissal".

Also provided are "certain time limits for challenging the dismissal“. Among other things, the Labor commission established that the so-called remote controls can only be arranged "on the plants and work tools" and that the redundancy fund can also be paid to companies that have ceased but are still able to resume activity.
