According to Luigi Charcoalpresident of the ANCL Provincial Union of Naples, co-promoter of the Forum: “There is also the issue of ‘productivity’ which must be compared to the minimum wage, otherwise there is a risk of the opposite effect in terms of competitiveness. We have inflation around 8% which is constantly rising. The productivity aspect will also be analyzed in the light of the main innovations in the field of new technologies through the introduction of artificial intelligence and the metaverse that can contribute to improving the quality of life of workers. Then there is the issue of excessive tax and social security burdens on work that greatly affects the net wages that go into the pockets of workers or profits for entrepreneurs. And we must also ask ourselves the reason for the many relocations as well as investigating the rules on inspections on wages and regularity of contributions ”.
