“We will increasingly reduce passive protections, which are toxic”. Labor Minister Giuliano Poletti said it today, adding that this is “the radical change to be produced. It will be achieved over time, gradually, distinguishing from situation to situation. Nothing changes in thirty seconds."
By passive policies we mean social shock absorbers, i.e. forms of monetary support for work such as unemployment benefits and benefits, ASPI, mobility and layoffs.
The minister explained that the new system will be built into the work delegation decree, or the Jobs Act: “We will deal with the matter in there – he said -. One of the cornerstones will be the reform of shock absorbers, which will introduce a profound change through the clear idea of moving from passive to active labor policies. We will do this path consistently. The intention is to equip ourselves so that the rules that will be established are respected”.
The minister did not enter into the merits of the changes to the current passive protections, but specified that “when there are obligations, there will also be sanctions. Otherwise they are not obligations, but invitations”.
