CGIL labor federation
chief Susanna Camusso took a shot Monday at Confindustria
employers association leader Giorgio Squinzi after he commented
that reforming Article 18 of the 1970s Workers Statute, which
protects employees from unfair dismissal, would "send a strong
signal".
"I see sudden changes of opinion, because I recall many
statements by (Squinzi) saying exactly the opposite," Camusso
said.
"We must get rid of the Article 18 mantra," Squinzi said.
"It is one of the brakes (on investments), perhaps a more media
than substantive one".
Industrialists concur on the need for reform and on the
need to increase employee protections, Squindi added.
"Entrepreneurs have no interest in sacking their employees,
especially those who do their job and are good at it," Squinzi
said.
