The Senate on Tuesday gave final
approval to the government's dignity decree with 155 votes in
favour, 125 against and one abstention.
The decree, which mothballs elements of ex-premier Matteo
Renzi's once-trumpeted Jobs Act labour-market reform, seeks to
stop widespread job insecurity and clamp down on firms who
relocate their activities outside Italy.
It was drafted by Labour and Industry Minister and Deputy
Premier Luigi Di Maio, the leader of the anti-establishment
5-Star Movement (M5S).
Business leaders and the opposition centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) have criticised the package, saying it will make
recruitment more complicated and lead to job losses.
