May 24, 2021 "The only thing that is not needed right now in our country is the unblocking of layoffs". There is an open battle between the CGIL and the Northern Confindustria over the mini extension to the blocking of layoffs in October contained in the Sostegni bis. Epicenter of the clash was Milan, where the president of Assolombarda Alessandro Spada set fire to the powder last night, accusing Minister Orlando of being "in clear contradiction with what was declared by the same minister a few days ago on the occasion of his visit, last Monday, in Assolombarda ".



The minister told reporters that he found it "difficult to call into question, for the constitution of the majority, a decision already taken", and therefore the removal of the block on layoffs expiring on June 30 seemed obvious. And while Spada returns to "a theme of method, both in terms of consistency with respect to the rules and in terms of relations with the social partners" because "companies need clarity, greater certainty and a reliable interlocutor in order to plan medium-sized investments. and long term ", four CGIL general secretaries from as many regions take the field to defend the extension: Alessandro Pagano (Lombardy), Pier Massimo Pozzi (Piedmont), Christian Ferrari (Veneto) and Luigi Giove (Emilia Romagna). 



"The government provision on dismissals - say the secretaries of the northern regions of the CGIL - is a first step that is still insufficient and must be completed to guarantee the certain extension of the block until at least October. Time needed to allow the strengthening of social safety nets in direction of universal coverage. In this phase, workers are still grappling with the crisis. Therefore they must be protected, supported and accompanied in the processes of economic transition, which will be promoted with the resources of the NRP, through effective training and professional retraining projects " .



For the four executives of the CGIL, a "wise use of all social safety nets is needed, before using the cleaver for dismissals".

Finally, a red disc from Pagano, Pozzi, Ferrari and Giove also on the intention announced by the government to weaken the current rules on procurement, making work more fragile, blackmailable, more insecure and a victim of exploitation and organized crime, a decision that we will contrast with everyone the tools at our disposal ".
