Republic founded on work?
Edgardo Rossi
The first part of the first article of the Italian Constitution states that Italy is a democratic republic, founded on work. This point of our Constitution has always been very respected in Italy, a country where the black economy, tax evasion, the precariousness have always made by employers. We should not be amazed at what's going on, yet still so much bitterness. In Sicily
three temporary schools are doing a hunger strike, after thirty years of service no longer needed, the cuts have reduced the financial staff redundancies, and then must stay at home. Should not be surprising that a person carries on an activity for thirty years without "entering the role," it is not normal that a person should try for so long its attitudes. Or rather, it is not normal anywhere else in the world, Italy is the rule. Thousands in public administration to be precarious, and without the possibility no stabilization. Depend on the financial numbers, if there is money you work, if no, no. Too young to retire, without being entitled to any redundancy payments are projected into the world of unemployment, forced to invent new activities, but without any help. In Italy if you passed the "door" does not take you more than anyone, maybe you can find the black.
But here in Italy it is not surprising even to workers made redundant because they are too industrial action, reinstated by the employment tribunal, but not accepted by the employer enough to prevent them from entering the factory. The employer has appealed the ruling of the court and then, in the meantime, the workers did not are welcome.
not be surprised that the workers should remain suspended on a platform to defend their jobs by the low financial speculation (and this story ended well). That other workers have to live in abandoned prison dell, because their factory is no longer considered productive, despite being able to run fine. In the Island of the unemployed have occurred in many, but the problem remains.
The list could go on like situations, passing by the teachers on the roofs of the administrator, by Sardinian shepherds that block the airports, from dairy farmers who have paid the fine and you feel cheated because others do not just have not paid but are backed by the government in their intention not to pay anything (but that's another story).
The problem is (are told) who lack jobs, and will remain so for a while ', even if the crisis is over.
The fact that banks, whose profits are increasing, do not take more, even people sent in early retirement and aim to reduce staff, which takes place in the crisis is ending? Companies that close to reopen in other countries where labor costs are lower, has something to do? The fact that the average wages of Italians are among the lowest in the European Union, what is its role in all this? We must say that many leaders in our country, raking in well, and that in return the Italian political class is the best paid of all Europe.
the end of this reflection, this overview of this country where the work should have a primary role, I see no program to overcome this limitation. Everything is left to chance, or rather the decisions are made by those who hold economic power, it is widening more and more the gap between the rich (who tend to increase their assets) and poor (growing). Dismantled the welfare state, too expensive (say), it was not completed implementation of genuine liberalization for which the great powers have increased their areas of influence.
I will be a "nostalgic" but I think that in times of crisis interventions by the governments there should be and must protect especially the economically weaker sections, but not sterile and occasional financial assistance but with the application of protection rules which aim at an equitable distribution of profits. It is not my idea, talked about a certain Keynes more than eighty years ago. But it seems that men have a short memory. And here is part of the ancestral cultural poverty of our country, but that's another story, even more complex and detailed than that which I have just completed and reference to other interventions.
