Squinzi says will put unions' 'backs to the wall' - update

(ANSA) - Milan, July 8 - Giorgio Squinzi, the head of industrial employers' confederation Confindustria, said Wednesday that he intends to confront Italy's trade unions, arguing they are hampering change. "In the next few days I'll have a meeting with the national union heads and I'll put their backs to the wall," Squinzi said. "We can't go on like this.
