Susanna Camusso, leader of
Italy's largest trade union federation CGIL, on Tuesday
dismissed the content of a meeting with Premier Matteo Renzi,
saying he did nothing to change unions' "negative judgement" of
his new Jobs Act reforms to labour law.
She said the unions appreciated the meeting, but learned
nothing new.
"The only real news of the meeting today is that there will
be other meetings," she said after the session.
Camusso said this was the first meeting between organized
labour and Renzi since he became premier seven months ago.
Unions are strongly opposed to many measures in the Jobs
Act, which Renzi is sending for a confidence vote in the Senate
as early as this week.
They are especially concerned with government plans to
amend Article 18 of existing legislation which protects against
unfair firings.
