The demonstrations called by the CGIL and the controversy over the Stability Law have further slowed down negotiations on productivity.
Over the weekend, the social partners "continued to talk to find a solution that fits every contractual reality," said Cisl leader Raffaele Bonanni. Between the trade unions and Confindustria, the axis between employers' and workers' representatives was strengthened – for the occasion. An axis, however, opposed to other entrepreneurial acronyms more in line with the executive (such as Ania and Abi), which would prefer a clear separation between the regulatory part, to be relegated to the national contract, and the economic part, to be decentralized to favor the growth of competitiveness.
The leader of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso, has also proposed to divert the resources put on the plate by the Government (1,6 billion between 2013 and 2014) to encourage the recruitment of young people, proposal rejected by Bonanni who, on the contrary, hopes for a more substantial dowry to be allocated to the detaxation of productivity wages. Furthermore, with reference to Bonanni's words on the contacts between trade unions, the CGIL secretary denied that there are scheduled meetings to mediate on the agreement.
Camusso's outing aroused a prompt response from Elsa Fornero, who recalled how the ministry has "already dedicated 230 million between now and the end of March to support employment at a time when the market is weak". The Minister then recalled that "the funds for productivity are linked to the outcome of that negotiation".
Also the secretary Uil Luigi Angeletta he reclassified Camusso's proposal, noting that "the money allocated for the tax reduction of productivity wages must continue to have that destination, with or without the agreement between the parties, because there is already an agreement in this sense: it is that of 28 June 2011”, understood on the subject of representation which however is not considered sufficient by the Minister for Development Corrado Passera, since “it speaks of tools available and not of concretely measurable commitments in favor of productivity”.
The proposal launched by Susanna Camusso certainly does not bode well for a rapid understanding, so much so that the call of Eni President Giuseppe Recchi was raised from the world of industry, who indicated productivity as "the term on which the countries of the world they play the game of competitiveness”. “The game is open – added Recchi – and the people in charge are working to find a solution”.
