August 05, 2020 "If the government did not extend the blockade of layoffs until the end of 2020, it would assume all responsibility for the risk of a social conflict". This is what the general secretaries of CGIL, CISL and UIL, Maurizio Landini, Annamaria Furlan and Pierpaolo Bombardieri say. "CGIL, CISL, UIL have already launched an initiative for September 18: that it can be transformed into a general strike will depend only on the choices made by the Government and Confindustria", reads a note. "Anyone who thinks they can bring forward that date to the end of the state of emergency", the three secretaries general observed, "shows that they have no knowledge of the elementary dynamics of the labor market and that they do not worry about the conditions of hundreds of thousands of workers. Those who think that generalized tax and tax reliefs (see IRAP) and layoffs can be together do not understand that now is the time for social cohesion and investment in the workplace. And in this context it is really serious that Confindustria decides not to sign the national contracts of the workers of the private health and food sector which with their essential work have allowed us to get out of the most acute phase of the pandemic ", concludes the press release joint.
