January 25, 2020 The minimum wage "is one of the priority themes within the M5S. Obviously, as a Minister of Labor, I believe it is a priority and a need to intervene. I also believe that there are all the possibilities in this majority, who feels a lot about this issue, to bring home an important rule. I am confident that we can do it, just as we did with the riders ".

This was stated by the Minister of Labor, Nunzia Catalfo, speaking at the presentation of the book 'Basta salari da fame' by Marta and Simone Fana in Milan. "I believe - added Catalfo - that in a short time we can bring home a rule that not only protects Italian workers but also the Italian economy and businesses, because it is not that lowering wages will help businesses to live better. They are small interventions, not so small, which however help us to advance the country, from the dignity decree to a form of income support ".

Pensions, overcome Fornero continues Quota 100
"The aim is obviously to overcome the Fornero reform while remaining Quota 100, which is a three-year trial and will run its course", adds Catalfo, speaking of the first meeting with the social partners, scheduled for next Monday, on the issue of pensions.

Among the topics on the field "there will be a particular look at young people, in particular evaluating a guarantee pension for young people, as well as flexibility on leaving and already retired people".

Technicians for pensions
The minister stressed that "the table will be accompanied by a group of technicians, a commission, which I will appoint as minister of labor, of specialists who deal with the pension system as well as INPS technicians".

Commission that will serve to "accompany this path". To set up the commission "the last technicians of the MEF are still missing who have not yet been communicated to us, as soon as they inform us of the names of the technicians we leave". And it is "right that there is the MEF, for financial resources and the public function, because we are also talking about public employees", he concluded.
