CGIL proposes new Workers’ Statute

(ANSA) - Rome, December 14 - Italy's biggest and most left-wing trade union federation, CGIL, said Monday it would propose a new Workers' Statute introducing universal labor rights.
    The proposal for a Charter for Universal Labor Rights is set out in a citizens' initiative bill to be put to union members for approval early next year. The bill aims to "broaden, expand and integrate" Italy's existing Workers' Statute of 1970, key parts of which have been watered down by the government's recent Jobs Act labour market reform.
