October 17, 2021 We must "avoid divisions also by introducing the swab at the expense of companies. Many companies have done this and it has been a useful thing to reach the final goal of the vaccine for all". This was underlined by the leader of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, speaking to 'Che tempo che fa'. Landini recalled that he had asked the government that the sanitation costs incurred by the companies (which also include those for tampons) were "partially tax exempt".

"We trade unions said in unsuspecting times that it was better to get to the vaccination obligation. We said it in all the offices together with the CISL and the UIL. When we saw that the government has taken the path of the Green pass, we are not never been against ", Landini reiterated.

"But the green pass put the vaccine on the same level as the possibility of swabbing. Since until August, since it was possible, the companies did the swabs, the sanitization ... these were all expenses that were not borne by the worker, but at the expense of companies, we have proposed to define a temporary, transitional period, starting from 15 October and for a few weeks, precisely to arrive at an idea, if necessary, of vaccination obligation and at the same time carry out a campaign of information to convince people to get vaccinated ".

"The freeze on layoffs would be useful to extend until the end of the year. It is time to vaccinate, not to fire people", said the general secretary of the CGIL.

"Health and safety must return to being an element of culture, not a cost," he added.

"We want to strengthen the labor inspectorates and their power to suspend the activity until the companies are up to standard. People must be trained. I insist on the subject - specified Landini - investing in order not to create precarious work and a sustainable environmental point of view ".
