He finally made it. And no one can think that for Maurice Sacconi, Minister of Welfare, born a socialist and then struck down on the path of extreme liberalism by who knows what boss, the inclusion in the economic maneuver of rules that make national labor laws and contracts derogable in front of a company contract, does not represent the crowning of a dream . Pursued with the stubbornness and determination of a revenge, Sacconi has, in fact, destroyed national contracts category framework, stabbed union representativeness in the heart, circumvented the untouchability of article 18 of the Workers' Statute and, above all, unblocked the creation of small "yellow" trade unions within companies, even the smallest ones, which in the name of the productivity of the "mister boss" company will be willing to deviate from even the most elementary constitutionally guaranteed labor rights. The CGIL is already on a war footing, Secretary Camusso has already announced the general strike, but much more is expected on the horizon.
Basically, after years of attempts to get the hated "red trade unionists" out of the tables of any negotiation, the former socialist Sacconi, so struck by the Catholic faith on the path of convenience that he authored, in January 2011, a open letter to Catholics (also countersigned by Formigoni) in which all believers were asked to suspend their moral judgment on Berlusconi following the Ruby affair and the subsequent investigation into extortion and aiding and abetting child prostitution, concluded his battle: destroy the union. In fact, the maneuver allows "company agreements signed by the most representative workers' associations at national level, or by union representatives operating in the company, to implement specific agreements which may also derogate from collective labor agreements and the Workers' Statute". Provided, the text of the decree reads, all of this is aimed at "increased employment, the quality of contracts, the emergence of irregular work, increases in competitiveness and wages, management of company and employment crises, investments and ' start of new activities”. Obviously, it is not written anywhere who should supervise the application of these clauses and, above all, whether any "punishment" is envisaged in the event that they are disregarded. Again according to Sacconi, “the regulations approved on the matter of work contain the “heart” of the Statute of works in that they attribute to company or territorial contracts the ability to regulate everything that pertains to the organization of work and production; the center of the negotiation becomes the company or the territory”.
To achieve this result and to undermine, in an almost definitive way, the autonomy of the social partners on labor issues, Sacconi has included in the law the "erga omnes" recognition of the agreements of Pomigliano, Mirafiori and the former Bertone. That is: from now on comparatively representative trade unions, at national or company level, will be able to stipulate company contracts substitute for the national ones, without any certification of representativeness and without any referendum among the workers. “
