Redundancy lockout will not be renewed – expires December 31

The government will not prolong the blockade layoffs, effective since March and expiring on December 31, but a possible extension could be mandatory for those companies that will use the Covid fund or the contribution exemption provided as an alternative to Cig. This is the wake of the executive action that prepares the new maneuver 2021.

A partial correction of what was announced by the Minister of Economic Development, Stefano Patuanelli, Just yesterday. “A new blockade of layoffs is unthinkable,” he said, speaking with Door to door anticipating how a new 18-week stretch (as of January 1) of cig covid was being studied that could be financed with almost 5,000 million euros, a dowry that is no longer for everyone but intended for the most difficult sectors, such as tourism , catering, fairs and fashion.

Given the concern of the unions that fear a phase of massive layoffs, today came the response of the Vice Minister of Economy Antonio Misiani that in an interview with Radio Capital He explained: “We need to look for other tools, starting with active labor policies to help workers who will lose their jobs in the coming months.”

“The redundancy block will end on December 31”

“The words of Minister Patuanelli are wrong and worrying. An absolutely unacceptable prospect,” said Luigi Sbarra, CISL deputy general secretary. “To imagine that the only measure for which the state of emergency is no longer valid is the blocking of layoffs is irresponsible,” thundered Fiom leader Francesca Re David.

Tomorrow night, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will see the majority delegations to draft the budget planning document to be sent to Brussels and the launch of the maneuver in the Council of Ministers is expected for the weekend.

The new budget law should be worth 40 billion, of which around 23 in additional deficit, 3 billion for non-deferrable expenses and 10 billion for mandatory interventions. Support for the sectors most affected by the pandemic (tourism, hospitality and fashion) for which a new section of Covid layoffs should arrive, as well as the expansion of income support measures for seasonal, intermittent and tourism workers and entertainment is a priority. Ad hoc deductions and a fund for the most affected sectors are also being studied, as well as confirming the 30% deduction for companies in the South.
