MODEL CONTRACT RELEASE: REFORM TO GIVE A HAND TO OWNERS
out of the crisis
Leonard (CUB), grassroots unions and worker will mobilize to fight it
"The reform of the contractual model is primarily a way to give the owners a helping hand to overcome the crisis," said Pierpaolo Leonardi, National Coordinator CUB. "Framework Agreement disappears because every reference to the emergency wage and just about dynamic efficiency wage, which implies a close relationship with the competitive needs of firms, while in the second-level bargaining will make it possible exceptions in both pejus wage legislation for the part. "
"But to boost economic growth, employment development and increased productivity are the same principles in the name of them in '92 / '93 notorious agreements were signed in July - said Leonardo - who have certainly achieved the aim of ensuring the benefits and profits for businesses, but from which started the deconstruction of the bargaining power of workers ".
"This agreement - added Leonardi - would also put an end to the existence of a trade union which has as its purpose is to defend workers' rights. This creates new rules for union representation, with which it intends to restrict the right to strike in local public services and take out any possibility of democratic participation of workers in decisions affecting them. For the base unions and workers are now left to mobilize, not only to reject this reform, but to prevent it being applied in the category of agreements, corporate and territorial, "said the Cub manager."
