Interview Why is the 435 euro hike demanded by the banks “not much” What is happening to the banking sector, but first of all, why are all eyes on Intesa Sanpaolo? Fabi – Today’s interview with Lando Maria Sileoni, secretary general of the Autonomous Italian Banking Federation
Wages have been frozen for decades and prices have skyrocketed: Some industrial sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, energy and credit, are posting record profits as inflation depletes the purchasing power of households. In the face of this increasingly evident dilemma, calls are being renewed for wealth redistribution, starting with the possibility of negotiating more substantial salary […]
Fees that “automatically” increase, but the golden requirement is for a few
Are fruit and vegetable prices skyrocketing? More expensive holidays? Blame inflation eroding Italians’ purchasing power, as well as wages that have remained unchanged for decades.

Tax cut for nights and holidays: this is how the government raises wages
After the (temporary) cut in the tax wedge, the government is working on new measures to leave a little more money in the pockets of workers, especially in the tourism sector. The industry has suffered for years from a “progressive discontent” of historical workers, as well as a lesser capacity to attract new generations who […]
“They offered me 400 euros to work 11 hours a day”
“They make ridiculous job offers and the government even has the luxury of saying we don’t want to work”. And again: “Here they are not looking for workers, but slaves.” Emanuela, 28, signed the post published on the Facebook page of a neighborhood group in Naples. The young woman said she was contacted “for a […]

The risk of recession is now over and growth forecasts are generally more optimistic than previously made.

A set of risk factors revolving around two interrelated factors: the rise in consumer […]
Hot topic Starved wages and “out of the envelope” money: why don’t we fight illegal and underpaid work Data from the National Labor Inspectorate: irregularities in 67% of controlled companies. The institution’s staff is currently insufficient to adequately address the issue, but something may change soon
Hunger wages and “out of envelope” money. Changes the exploit limit and “allowed” days off for amnesty received. They weren’t even a statement. With what questions Today Documented working conditions in the restaurant world – most recently by Charlotte Matteini, read here – outline a dramatic scenario (no, the adjective is not an exaggeration), but […]
