October 29, 2020 "It is not a threat, but if a solution is reached on Friday, well, otherwise if the idea is that from February we start firing again, we are ready to evaluate all the necessary initiatives, up to the general strike".

This was said by the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini.

Tomorrow a new meeting is scheduled at 5 pm between trade unions and the government in which the blocking of layoffs will be discussed.

The leader of the CGIL underlined that there is the will to arrive at a solution and give answers to the country.



"The government - explains the trade union leader after the meeting with the executive - has asked for a suspension of the negotiations and has reconvened us on Friday afternoon, because between now and tomorrow it wants to consult with the business associations of our country" .



"Our proposal - he adds - is that the 12 weeks of layoffs" that the executive proposed at the end of the one already planned "be accompanied by a further block on layoffs, because we are still in an emergency.

Furthermore, says Landini, "we asked at the same time that a discussion be started to discuss a reform of social safety nets and which active policies" are put in place "to go towards normality, even with an overcoming of the redundancy block. united, divisions must not be increased ", he concludes.


#MaurizioLandini to @GiuseppeConteIT: “At least 18 weeks of cash should be provided, with the contextual mouth of layoffs, in order to provide workers with coverage until the end of winter.

We need to give a positive message in the face of the risk of social emergency "pic.twitter.com/cFJkE4wSKx

Furlan: "We work by agreement. A clash is the last thing the country needs"


"A clash and an unintended one on such a delicate issue (that of the blocking of layoffs ) is the last thing the country needs: we will work to build this understanding ".

The general secretary of the CISL Annamaria Furlan said in Agorà.

"Yesterday's meeting between the trade unions and the government did not end - he explained - so much so that tomorrow, after the Prime Minister has listened to the employers' associations, we will meet again to see if we find a summary and we absolutely must find it". 



Today, in fact, according to what is learned, Gualtieri, Catalfo and Patuanelli will meet Confindustria's top management by videoconference.

Also in this case it will be an uphill battle.

The President of the industrialists Carlo Bonomi has sent a very relaxing signal: "The government has decided to block the layoffs (until January 31) without involving us. It does not listen and takes unilateral decisions" he attacked.



Furlan then underlined that "we are experiencing an exceptional moment: 25 thousand infected a day is a figure that makes your wrists tremble, and other European countries are also taking important measures. I believe that the government has done well to make the choices it has made. , not because reducing activities is good - I as a trade unionist for 40 years worked to keep businesses open - but today with the pandemic situation that is increasing in a whirlwind way, and we return to seeing exhausted doctors and nurses in intensive care, it is it is clear that some measures, even if not simple, heavy, are necessary ".

"The real issue we have before us - he concluded - is whether we can give support to companies and workers in the sectors involved and do not make them wait too long. The Ristori decree tries to give an answer even if on some types of work it has been a bit 'miser: I am thinking of seasonal workers who have a one-off payment of a thousand euros. The important thing is that these resources arrive soon, workers and businesses must not wait too long ". 


Not finding an agreement or starting a fight with the #Government over the layoffs is the last thing we need now.

We need responsibility.

We will work to build a deal for the good of the country: #Furlan at @luisellacost live with #agorarai pic.twitter.com/TpfOrchvxw
