Catalfo: «Another 16 billion for layoffs. The bonus? automatic

Minister, there are around 7.5 million workers for whom layoffs have been requested and this without counting those interested in the cig exemption, where the greatest delays are recorded. Will you speed up procedures?
“Yes, we will do it with the decree law that the government is about to approve – answers the Minister of Labor, Nunzia Catalfo (M5S) -. It will provide up to a maximum of another 9 weeks of layoffs and a payroll allocation check. We will assign more than 16 billion. All requests will be sufficient, those related to the Cura Italia decree and new ones to come. A technical committee will be established with the Regions and the INPS at the ATM to verify where the funnel is created. “

Complaints also about the bonus of 600 euros for the self-employed. Due to delays and because it was considered insufficient.
“With the next decree, the compensation of € 600 will be paid automatically, without the need to submit a new application. In addition, the following month, for temporary workers who are still unemployed and professionals who have suffered a 33% drop in the turnover, will rise to a thousand euros. For micro-companies, there will be non-refundable compensation of one thousand to 5,000 euros, depending on the type of company and its turnover. ”

What about domestic workers and caregivers?
“There will be a compensation of 500 euros for two months.”

The issue of domestic work connects us to the problem of immigrants. Why are you opposed to the colleague of Agriculture, Teresa Bellanova (Iv), who asks for its regularization?
“I am not opposed to regularization, but I think it should be done against a contract. Let me explain: if the irregular immigrant receives a job offer, he is entitled to a residence permit. But if instead we give him permission to look for work for 6 or even 3 months, I am afraid that the game of the ends will be played, especially now ».

Why?
“Today, due to restrictions on movements, for those who exploit the work of illegal immigrants, life is more difficult: there are more controls and it is easier to identify them. If we grant a residence permit to look for work and one stops because perhaps he is going to work illegally in the fields, he can always say that he is looking for a job and that he would be in a good position.

Do we risk that there is no one to collect fruits and vegetables?
“A unique national platform for cross-referencing the supply and demand of labor in the agricultural sector has just started. And in the next few days an application will begin where companies will be able to do their research and workers to apply.”

Even those who earn income from citizenship?
“Sure. To encourage them, in the decree we will establish that those who generate income, the buffers and Naspi can have temporary contracts in agriculture without losing the supports they enjoy».

Minister, why did you propose a cut in hours for the same wages?
“It is not a cut in the schedule, but a temporary remodulation of it. We hope that the worker can return to the company part-time and that the remaining part will be used for training paid by the state. This allows him to overcome this phase and then meet more qualified workers ».

There will also be emergency income. For how many months and with what quantity?
“For two months, from 400 to 800 euros a month, according to the family. It will be a support for families in difficulties with Isee up to 15 thousand euros. We take into account the mayors’ cry of alarm and the increase in the number of people who turn to Caritas. ”

Confindustria criticizes well-being and requests more support for companies.
Companies must be supported. But families and workers must also receive help because, among other things, they guarantee consumption, for the benefit of the companies themselves. This decision also includes the decision to extend the block on economic layoffs for three months. ”

Minister, another 15 days of parental leave seem insufficient.
«It is a subject that is very close to my heart. The decree will also renew the nanny bonus. It has been little used, also due to the closure that has seen many parent-workers remain at home. Those who have not done so will be entitled to € 1,200, which can also be spent in summer and children’s centers, for the opening of which we are working together with the Minister of the Family, Elena Bonetti, and with the Regions and Municipalities “.

The work will change. Will there be much more intelligent working?
“It is an opportunity to take advantage of, both in the public and private sectors, where there are more than two million people who work from home. But I also think that it should be regulated, for example, by providing the right to disconnect. In the next few days I will have a meeting with the social partners on this.
