One million jobs at risk says CISL union chief Sbarra

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 5 - Luigi Sbarra, the head of the CISL trade union, said Wednesday that around a million jobs are at risk in Italy with soaring energy prices and the cost-of-living crisis having a big impact on business.
    "We have complicated months ahead of us, with extremely high inflation, a probable recession and incredible increases in energy prices," Sbarra told Mediaset's Tgcom.
    "All this can cause clear risks for employment levels.
    "We think that almost one million jobs and the survival of thousands and thousands of firms may be at risk".
    Sbarra called for the adoption of a new aid package to help businesses and households cope before the approval of the 2023 budget law. (ANSA).
