“We’re here to explain our proposals, but we’re also here to listen to yours, on issues that maybe we haven’t put on the table and that you should consider particularly relevant.” Thus began the conflict at Palazzo Chigi between the Meloni government and the unions to “set the work” on institutional reforms, financial delegation, inflation, pensions, job security and productivity.
“Dialogue is necessary, it brings advantages,” he said, reminding the government that “the government has decided to initiate a necessary and appropriate conversation with the social partners to enable us to have a more orderly organization of work and a structured and hopefully productive dialogue.” respecting the priorities and relevant positions that the country has and that the government has decided to adopt. I believe that dialogue and confrontation can be an advantage when there are people like they are today, even if the positions are remote — he added, particularly competently.”
Government meets with unions to plan reforms
At Palazzo Chigi, the meeting between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, ministers and trade unions continues to discuss upcoming reforms (taxation and pensions), but also inflation and job security and productivity. This is just a first appointment, hopefully a continuation of certain tables with the relevant ministries. On behalf of the unions, CGIL, CISL, UIL, Ugl and Confsal participate, along with the general secretaries Maurizio Landini, Luigi Sbarra, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, Paolo Capone and Angelo Raffaele Margiotta. A meeting with companies and chambers of commerce is also planned.
Meloni aims to involve some of the social partners in all the work the government wants to do, as well as in constitutional reform, as it is “an issue of concern to everyone”. I believe that such a proposal should seek to achieve the greatest possible participation, without prejudice to the two fundamental goals we set ourselves: stability of governments and respect for the will of citizens”.
Meloni: “I will build an observatory on purchasing power”
Talking about inflation and purchasing power, the Prime Minister told the unions that he “wanted to set up a government observatory on purchasing power at Palazzo Chigi: monitoring wages, prices and pricing policy, monitoring the implementation and effects of measures, such as lowering VAT on early childhood products, which we have put in place.” and maybe find the one that didn’t produce the expected results, in the first person, so that together we can figure out the crux of this ordeal”.
