Triennale 'FOR FUTURE CONTRACTS

During the night of 28 and May 29, the meeting confederal unions - government, closed the first half of the story of contractual staff now will open the second timing of various categories to define the individual national.

A story long, troubled and complicated that has produced great innovations on which we must reflect and express an opinion.

The agreement consists of two documents concerning the resources, first and sequences relations, the second.

In the first affirming the amount of resources made available by the government for contracts, "the government is committed to allocate, in the Budget Law for 2008, the additional resources needed to ensure regime, with effect from 1 February 2007, average economic benefits equal to 101 Euro average, for the staff of the ministries of industry and corresponding increases based on the average pay of reference for other sectors and areas of the state. "

The treaty was bad lot, uphill. The Government, as everyone now knows, had already remain once the figures agreed upon and, playing the relaunch, proposed wage increases of only 93 € and from January 2008. This would have meant to skip the first two years directly "economic" and had already made a contract for the second biennium. The treaty has reported the figures in 2007 and increase to 101 €. We would have to reflect the congruence between the increases achieved (which in these days will be adjusted in negotiations that have opened up with ARAN to the various compartments) and the recovery of real purchasing power of wages. It could be disquisire the fact that, at least for the school, is the first two years, since it contracted with the ARAN, which skips almost a year (in 2006 there is only contractual holiday allowance ...). One might also comment that requests are not made to the CGIL congress documents that identified in the national contract for the prince "the increase in the purchasing power of wages and increase wages (...) as actual inflation and combined with the use of quotas in productivity. "However, since these arguments we have made in recent months in several locations, does not seem appropriate to go beyond just reporting the remarks of the Corriere della sera of May 30 which states "At the Ministry of Economy argue that, ultimately, for 2007, you will not have to allocate more funds than those that would be needed to secure 93 euro from 1 January 2007 (which was what he wanted to give the minister) because 101 euros for 11 months ago more or less as 93 for 12 months.. "

In the second agreement, however, there is a commitment to change the length of contracts: "... pending the establishment of a general agreement income policy, the parties undertake to conclude quickly, however, by December 31 2007, a agreement to provide on an experimental basis during the next three-year contract renewals of staff, both in the economic legislation that, for the period 2008/2010. "

This is the text signed by the secretaries of the compartments of the IP that such controversy has been raised.

Podda, rushes to explain that much of three years if they will not anything because, he says, asking the impossible for the government. On May 30 the manifesto states that "we are prepared to ask difficult conditions to be fulfilled ..." .

But then it's all fake? So that was a signature furbata to work around the obstacle? Is a pity that only pretend to someone, only one of the two parties. In particular, our counterparty does not think so. Tommaso Padoa Schioppa, the guardian of strict compliance with the financial balances, the question of the journalist of the Sun 24 hours "on what takes its positive sull'intesa?" Replies: "Agreement on triennalizzazione is very important. (...) The government has set his action in five years "(SL 24 hours on May 30 07).

We can not leave Angola with the "furbate"!

The figure is that the political debate on the three-year contract started. And it is no match between workers and trade union bodies, but directly with the other experiments that completely change the relations and contract rules.

I am not fond of agreements on July 23 of'93, indeed! I have never liked, but not for the biennial, rather because they put the muzzle to bargain and recovery tying wage increases to inflation program. But if you decide to change them need to know the first thing you want as an alternative. And you should be able to discuss and decide for themselves. But if it accepts a category to change the rules of the game, although experimentally, in fact affects the overall negotiations to be held later.

Downward change the contract rules of 1993 was already in the thoughts of the previous Berlusconi government. Indeed note that Baccini, then Minister of Public Administration, tried to bring the columns of the newspapers triennalizzazione deadlines. That proposal was returned to the sender with great determination and indignation from all the secretaries general of the civil service.

Today, facing the different attitudes of unions, the Confederation of looks with great interest to what has long asked: Bombassei, vice president, welcomes the landing three years from the columns of La Stampa and the Sole 24, June 1, reaffirms the importance even for individuals.

The conclusion is that the confederal unions have left the government a sure thing, that the debate on new rules in the direction dell'allentamento constraints of the national contract, in exchange for hopes and illusions of being able to soak up after the collapse.

In exchange for 101 euros, has allowed the counterparty to put "a foot in the door" of rules to implement the vision of a model dear to Confindustria, but also to environments unions (ICFTU). Accordingly, the CCNL become increasingly less important and binding on the wage recovery, whose task would be delegated increasingly to bargain second level: a salary increasingly flexible and variable fortunes tied to the company. So the rights would become less equal and accessible to all.

For some time the initiative is in the hands of the government. An example is the debate on the quality and efficiency of public work that the union was imposed, even with the help of the media. This subject is dear to everyone, including us. But we would have preferred to deal with other times, and with more resources and above all purposes other than those still in these days, the Governor of the Bank of Italy Draghi recalls: streamline and make more efficient sectors of public and private sector to support pressure of international competition.

For some time the area of job-FLC Piedmont company is engaged in a complaint of errors overridden the union line. For subalternità to politics, or perhaps out of habit, the line union always leaves the initiative to the other. The delay in building applications and platforms contract is significant this time. The school has endorsed the idea of a platform for the period 2006/07 only on May 25 of 2007 ...! then how can we complain to the government that the contract has been delayed for 18 months?

We have to be credible with workers who have placed in us great expectations. We can not as often present themselves to justify, or worse, to push for big tricks, the retreat and the concessions that we have been forced to make to the Government.

Resume the initiative looking more to the interests of workers to the balance of parliamentary and government: this is what we need to regain that confidence that today is visibly losing.
