Redundancy block, Durigon: “Yes to unblocking, aid only to sectors in crisis”

Yes to the release of layoffs from 1 July in all sectors that can restart and reorganize themselves. But on the part of the League, assures the Undersecretary to the Ministry of Economy Claudio Durigon, there is also an opening towards further protection of jobs in sectors particularly tried by the crisis, starting with textiles. In an interview with la Repubblica, when asked about the accusation of the Democratic Party of having changed his mind too many times on the blocking of layoffs, he explains that he does not believe “that our position has created any kind of difficulty. I believe – says Durigon – that it is right defend all workers, but we must also defend businesses if we want the economy and work to really restart “. “And therefore, objectively if we make a specific rule for sectors in severe crisis, as Giancarlo Giorgetti said yesterday and as Salvini said a week ago, analyzing the data, we believe that we can manage this game in a different way than a total extension. of the block, and that the release in some sectors may already take place to allow companies to reorganize and hire, “he explains. What are the sectors that require more protection? “If we look at the ordinary layoffs, which expire in June, there are about 140 thousand fashion and textile workers among the total 480 thousand. This is a sector that, given the numbers of the Cig, should be protected, on the rest we have figures that allow us to hold up. We unblock layoffs, and make a specific rule for sectors in strong crisis, with Cig quotas of 30, 40%. With the exception of textile workers and a few other categories, I do not think that the release will have an impact It’s not that if the ban is lifted, everyone will fire, “he says.
