Strikes in the carpet, comes close – Il Secolo XIX

->

Rome – The crackdown on strikes could mature in September. After the summer break, in fact, the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Senate, once the endless marathon on major reforms, should up to date on the bill presented in February 2014 by former Labour Minister Maurizio Sacconi and the more recent one, signed by Democratic Party Senator Pietro Ichino. The goal is to avoid once and for all a repeat of protests wild , such as Pompeii and Fiumicino in recent days.

the ball to Parliament

The government, after the repeated announcements of the past months, it is in fact willing to leave it to Parliament, as confirmed yesterday in an interview with “Corriere” the minister of Infrastructure and Transport Graziano Delrio. Since the matters covered by the Constitution, “better to avoid a direct intervention of the government. In parliament there are already various legislative proposals, to accompany the approval with the involvement of all. ”

Both Sacconi Ichino aim to better regulate strikes in the transport sector so as to avoid the audience is perpetually hostage to strikes and protests sometimes just announced, especially those promoted by sindacatini smaller using the weapon of protest to make a kind of unfair competition to more acronyms.

The two proposals

The key idea of ​​both bills is to introduce a level of consensus to make valid the protest action . Sacconi suggests that in the transport sector can proclaim agitation only unions that have a total of at least 50% representation. Alternatively, organizations that also combinations of them have at least 20% may use the referendum budget, but must register at least 30% of workers in favor.

The proposed Ichino instead provides a threshold of 50% for both unions is proposing to approve the referendum. For Italy it would be big news, but abroad (Germany, where there is an Urabstimmung, in the United Kingdom, Spain and Greece) this is a long-standing practice for years. As long as the field was only my proposal – I explain Sacconi – did not want to force too much, because I understood that politically the time was not yet ripe.

Now that the Democratic Party with Ichino presented his bill, and with the minister Delrio indicating preferential way as that of Parliament, I believe that we have the conditions to proceed. With the President of the first Senate committee, Mr Finocchiaro, we talked to put it on the calendar now in September. ‘

The virtual strike

Ichino, in addition to the minimum threshold, the proposed extension of the duration of subscriptions for users and cutting transfers to companies Transportation proportional to the days of the strike.

Sacconi supposes the introduction of the so-called virtual strike, to strengthen and make effective interventions depletion of the protests, which have to be objective, “because otherwise as in the railways we are left with a host of small unions in turn block the trains, “the opportunity for individual workers in advance membership or not to protest, to allow the company to better organize the services, the obligation to communicate the cancellation of the protest in time ( and not at the last minute) to inform the public and to avoid the damage of the many ad-effect.

So in terms of sanctions, the burden of the collection would be attributed to Equitalia (rather than employers), so as to make it effective, while the amounts paid by individual workers would be increased. Given that the issue at stake concerns the free movement of persons, “not least of a right to strike” gloss Sacconi, the proposal also provides for the introduction of administrative sanctions against those blocking protest railway stations, roads, highways and airports. Another sensitive issue to regulate.
