The advent of Easter does not bring serenity between Mario Monti and the social partners. Indeed, the "day after" of the Premier after the course correction on article 18 turns out to be more difficult than expected. And surprisingly, with the unions certainly not satisfied but not even more on a war footing, to rail against the Government is Emma Marcegaglia. And the quarrel is heavy, considering the standards of pathos to which the Professor in loden has accustomed us.
"The text is bad – said the president of Confindustria to the Financial Times, commenting the latest version of the labor reform It's not what we agreed on. It's not what the country needs. It would be better to have nothing, or to change the text in Parliament".
To this unusual friendly fire attack Monti he replied in tones that are very unusual for him: “Is the reform bad for Marcegaglia? Take responsibility for what he said – thundered the premier to the microphones of Tg1-. Three months ago Confindustria could not even have hoped that dismissal for economic reasons would become in Italy as it is in countries where there is greater flexibility and that the role of reinstatement was limited as it is with this reform, only to cases of abuse of economic dismissals".
Meanwhile, to tone down is the CGIL, which after the adjustment to article 18 no longer promises open warfare, but still criticizes the general structure of the reform. On precarious employment, "the distances between the text presented and the government's propaganda announcements are evident - reads a statement from the Corso Italia trade union - and risk reducing the results obtained in comparison with the trade union organisations". The fundamental problem is that the bill "pompously defined as 'Labour reform with a growth perspective' perhaps contains the reform, but not the growth perspective". It therefore remains necessary, according to the CGIL, "a strong initiative", which will be proposed "also to Cisl and Uil".
