(Finance) – The president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomiasked political forces to avoid a divisive dialectics in dealing with reforms institutional. No to “vetoes and flags” as in the past, declared Bonomi on the occasion of theannual meeting. “I say to the political forces: be careful not to make the same mistake as always. Avoid planning interventions on form of state and on the form of government developed and inspired by a divisive dialectic, alien by definition from the seriousness with which to propose and judge institutional systems so relevant for the democracy and freedom of our country”.
The president underlined Confindustria it is “autonomous, non-partisan and non-governmental”, and does not intend “today to evaluate the reform schemes institutions advanced in recent months by the parties” regarding the form of State, differentiated autonomy, and the form of government, presidentialism or premiership. But for Bonomi, “democracy, freedom, rule of law are not negotiable: they imply an exercise of constant awareness, courageous actions and hope”.
Industrialists hope, he said, for “profound reforms that bind governability and ability to give voice and representation to the many requests that civil society is capable of expressing”. “We ask – he added – for rules and political choices capable of reconciling the efficiency and effectiveness of behaviors public with the stimuli to resourcefulness, innovation, the ability to do, do well and do good. In short, we insist on the need for a level institutional our country can focus on competitiveness and social inclusion, productivity and solidarity”.
For Bonomi there is an “indissoluble link” between wages and productivity. There Constitution “obliges us to give the worker a fair wage”, but “this function is entrusted, as regards subordinate work, to bargaining collective“, stated Bonomi. “The mere introduction of a legal minimum wagenot accompanied by a set of measures aimed at enhancing representation, would resolve neither the great issue of poor work nor the plague of dumping contractual – he underlined – nor would it give greater strength to collective bargaining. The sector industrial over the last twenty years it has had wage dynamics far superior to those recorded by the rest of our economy”.
Still regarding the issue of work, Bonomi highlighted the need for “a course correctioncapable of promoting all the conditions so that the right to work is effective and fulfilled i principles constitutional. We must improve the inclusiveness of our labor market, especially towards young people and women and guarantee the full realization of the rights we enunciate”. For Bonomi, in fact, “it is not enough to introduce obligations by lawcoherent interventions and policies are needed.”
“We must invest – explained Bonomi – in the quality of the school, in STEM subjects, in professional training, overcoming divisions parochial which confine training into regional schemes that are often irreconcilable”. Then “we must build the conditions for reconciling work with parental care”, he added. And “we must overturn the balances of employment policies introducing agile tools and active policies, which guarantee, through training, re-employment to work”, he concluded.
