Rome, 1 May (LaPresse) – "After three years of us insisting that there is a wage emergency, they have finally realised it too, albeit too late. And after three years of them trying to use other benchmarks, such as the most widely applied contracts or solutions that risked leaving more room for exploitative contracts, they are now using the contracts signed by the most representative organisations as a benchmark, exactly as our unified proposal on the minimum wage does. The point is that they haven’t had the courage to go one step further and say that below a certain threshold, it’s not work but exploitation.” So said Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein, speaking about the government’s labour decree on the sidelines of the May Day celebrations in Marghera, which she attended this morning.
