The numbers published by a study by Il Sole 24 Ore which attempts to estimate the number of surpluses in provincial institutions are not certain but highly probable numbers.
Since 2014, thirty-five offices that do not have the requisites to remain in business will have to merge into vast contiguous areas, which gives rise to the problem of excess personnel, quantified at 12 units.
We arrived at this number by crossing the total workforce of the provinces, as communicated by the statistics of the Upi, with the provisions sanctioned by the Salva-Italia decrees and on the spending review, supported by the reorganization that entered the executive phase on Wednesday.
Out of about 57 thousand workers employed, in total, in the provincial administrations, twenty-seven thousand belong to those that will merge or will be integrated, and among these 27 thousand fall precisely the 12 thousand potentially made redundant.
However, there is no mention of layoffs, but of transfers, to which the "merged" employees would be subject, while the staff already employed in the "receiving" offices should remain in their positions. The employees to be transferred will probably be destined for the decentralized administrations which will inherit the functions "liberated" from the canceled offices.
