Working hours should be cut without
cutting pay to boost employment, the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement's (M5S) labour minister candidate Pasquale Tridico said
Monday.
"The first step will be the reduction of working hours at
wage parity, so as to increase employment and incentivise the
productive reorganisation of businesses," said Tridico, who was
announced like the other prospective M5S ministers before the
March 4 general election where the M5S got 32% of the vote to
become by far Italy's top party.
The issue of creating jobs in Italy should be tackled "also
from the longer-term standpoint of robotization, a challenge
that cannot be left to the schizophrenia of the market, but must
be managed politically, Tridico said.
