May 24, 2021 The redundancy block remains fixed at June 30: the extension to August 28 is skipped for companies that have requested the Cig Covid from the entry into force of the Sostegni bis Decree by the end of June. This is the result after the technical study in the Government regarding the dismissal regulation of the Sostegni bis Decree, proposed by the Minister of Labor,

. On the other hand, the possibility has been confirmed for companies to use the ordinary redundancy fund, from 1 July, without having to pay the additional fees until the end of 2021 with the commitment not to lay off for the entire period in which they use it.

The measures, underlined by the Government, envisage a more comprehensive set of measures to support businesses and workers in the restart phase. The Democratic Party observes that the work package approved in the Sostegni bis decree "confirms the approach given by Minister Orlando with a series of options available to companies, alternatives to layoffs". The decree, they specify, "contains important measures to support the restart of businesses after the pandemic and the maintenance of employment levels". There will be measures ranging "from the free ordinary redundancy fund until the end of the year for companies that undertake not to dismiss the permanent re-employment contract,from the strengthening of the solidarity contract to the expansion contract to favor the generational relay in companies up to 100% contribution relief for workers hired in the trade and tourism sectors ". 

The secretary of the Democratic Party,

, also took to the field to lock down the minister Orlando: "On the crucial question of the redundancy block and the Cig I read superficial and ungenerous criticisms against the minister Andrea Orlando, who works on a delicate issue for millions of Italians, with all our support and appreciation ".

Letta's appearance was made necessary after yesterday's criticism of Minister Orlando by 

, its territories and categories, from Federchimica to Federmeccanica, which mobilized to reject the extension of the block within the Sostegni Bis. Criticism to which Minister Orlando replied yesterday with a tweet: "Today is a beautiful day, my turn for the vaccine has arrived, tomorrow I will deal with responding to 'slight' oversights by Sole24Ore". The Confindustria newspaper had contested the fact that the extension of the redundancy block had been introduced in the Dl Sostegni bis without any announcement or comparison.

The trade unions also intervened, on a war footing. In a joint note, the secretaries of Cgil

, Cisl

and Uil

declared that the trade unions consider "the position of Confindustria which insists on refusing the extension of the redundancy block at this stage to be" unacceptable and socially dangerous, especially in light of both general and specific funding, intended for companies and never selective " .

In the evening, the vice president of Confindustria with responsibility for industrial relations,

, in an interview with Tg5, he underlined that: "On the issue of the blocking of layoffs there is" above all a problem of method that concerns relationships and that concerns institutional correctness, in the sense that these measures could at least be discussed in advance " . "Then there is - Stirpe affirms - a problem of merit because through this provision the symmetry between the redundancy block and the Covid cash register that was the precondition that the business world has always requested in order to accept the block is lost".
