(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 25 - The government is working on a decree
that will extend the COVID-19-linked ban on dismissals, but only
for some sectors considered particularly fragile, sources said
on Friday, confirming a report by Il Sole 24 Ore.
The ban is set to expire at the end of this month and Italy's
trade unions have been pressing hard for it to be extended,
saying there could be a massive wave of dismissals otherwise.
The decree would extend the COVID-linked CIG furlough fund for
these sectors, linking access to a commitment not to fire
workers, the sources said.
The legislation would also extend a moratorium on demands for
outstanding taxes, the sources said. (ANSA).
