Increases in salaries focused on productivity in the different areas of the country, more marked in the northern regions to the detriment of those in the south. The return to salary cages, the salary differences by geographical areas in force until the end of the 1960s, for Confindustria it would constitute an element of change capable of favoring the restart of the country. Yesterday, Confindustria President Carlo Bonomi tried to relaunch the issue during CGIL’s “Future 2020” review, encouraged by the interventions of the number one in Viale dell’Astronomia and by the general secretary of the Corso Italia union Maurizio Landini, who spoke about national collective agreements and more.
Bonomi warns: damage to GDP if partial blockade continues
THE EXCHANGE
Then Bonomi: “We are a nation that has been stagnant in productivity for twenty-five years. The country is not homogeneous in its productivity characteristics, there are differences between the North and the South. Outcome? Centralized bargaining, instead of keeping a smaller final difference, actually affects real wages a lot. I have always maintained that the exchange should be wage-productivity and not wage-welfare ”. A thesis that, however, does not take into account the inconveniences faced by workers in the South who, although on the one hand benefit, in theory, from a lower cost of living, on the other they suffer from historical deficiencies in public health. Tpl, infrastructure. Delays that penalize life and work itself, more than compensate – negatively – the advantages in terms of purchasing power. The industrial leader takes Germany as an example, where the nominal wage difference between East and West is more than 28 points, while in Italy it is about 4 points between North and South: “In Germany they left the possibility of bargaining much strong second level linked to territorial productivity and this has allowed them to have an income capacity parameterized to the productivity of the territory and therefore to have a much stronger real economy capacity than ours. ”In Italy, the wage scales introduced After the war, however, they helped to divide the country in two and were abolished in 1969, thanks to strong opposition from the unions. A return to the past at this point seems decidedly unlikely, as well as inappropriate. At a stage where On the contrary, access to the European resources of the Recovery Plan should represent an opportunity to at least narrow the infrastructure and public service gap lico that still characterizes the South and the Islands.
I LIVELLI
For his part, the CGIL secretary defends national negotiation and recalls that Italy is the country with the lowest salary levels and the highest working hours: “I insist on national contracts not because they are alternatives to business negotiations but because in Our country is also made up of many small and medium-sized companies and the national contract continues to be the tool that is capable of providing answers to all and raising and unifying the level of quality in a general sense. Between this year and next there will be twelve million public and private workers fighting for the renewal of contracts. It is time to invest in work to beat Covid-19. ”Despite the distances, industrialists and unions say they are ready to start a permanent consultation now, as long as the government participates in the discussion as referee. “The change is made jointly or not. Yes to the consultation, not only with us, because the union is not only the CGIL. The important thing is to demand a discussion together with the government, it is not enough to speak in two, ”explained the CGIL leader. It is also time for Confindustria to debate. The president of the association does not stop: “We, as Confindustria and the CGIL, which is the most important part of the trade union front, have a great responsibility. We must sit around a table, beyond the differences, to seek solutions for the country. But the government must continue to be the referee because if it makes the bench between the two teams as it happened in the past, it doesn’t work.
