Italy collects the European Commission’s yes to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. But now the race begins. Investments must be made concrete. As soon as possible and without waste. Maximum attention, therefore, to the labor market. Thus comes the warning from the trade unions who are asking for a substantial reform that restores the dignity of the worker, obligations yes, but with the necessary safeguards. Excessive liberalization has created an underground savage in which the worker refuses to be hired because “black suits him more”. At the same time, however, he renounces any rights. From paid vacation to sickness to retirement. And if an injury happens, “you just have to cry”. Wild subcontracting, lack of controls and rules. This is not how the recovery can start. Not to mention the still dramatic gap regarding female employment. The premier reassures: “There will be investments for gender equality”. It is strange, however, that they are still needed. The beautiful country is therefore starting to get out of the crisis which, let’s face it, is well before the pandemic, by engaging the gear and pressing on the accelerator. Almost almost an opportunity to review strategies and projects. A fundamental role will be played by the Public Administration called to manage plans and development. Hence the need for a quick recruitment free from the endemic evil of the past: the recommendation. Prepared figures are needed or even the recovery opportunity will be lost. And it could be the last train. The one who will welcome Italy on board or leave it, melancholy, to watch the convoy that passes by and quickly takes the rest of Europe and the world elsewhere. To those who govern us the task of guiding the transition, to us citizens and to the trade unions to monitor and report any problems and anomalies. Entrepreneurs know how to seize opportunities without giving in to the evil siren of exploitation. At school and training, prepare the new recruits.
In short, to each his own task. Because the recovery is built together.
