The leader of Italy's biggest
trade-union confederation CGIL, Susanna Camusso, on Wednesday
said she was "satisfied" with a Constitutional Court ruling on a
CGIL petition.
"It is the first time after many years that we are once again
talking about employment", she also told State broadcaster
Rai3's program #cartabianca.
Camusso expressed satisfaction when she was asked whether she
was more satisfied or disappointed by the fact that the
Constitutional Court on Wednesday ruled against a key petition
to abolish controversial changes to Article 18, although it
approved referendum questions on worker vouchers and on contract
responsibilities.
The CGIL hailed a vote to abolish vouchers, calling them the
"worst frontier of job insecurity", while stressing that the
referendum question could be avoided through "a legislative
solution".
The Constitutional Court ruled that the petition to hold a
referendum to abolish changes to Article 18 of the Workers
Statute in the recent Jobs Act labor reform was inadmissible.
The CGIL trade union had presented the petition in a bid to
have the limits on dismissals without just cause reinstated.
