“Yes to the Green Pass in the workplace”. This was stated by the president of INPS, Pasquale Tridico, in an interview with Repubblica. Unions are against the mandatory Green Pass to enter the workplace unless a law stipulates it. Tridico, on the other hand, says in favor “without doubts”. “It is my very personal opinion, but as a university professor I would like my rector to tell me: without the Green pass you cannot enter the classroom because you risk infecting students”, highlights the president of INPS, who in the interview gives also the point on employment. “There is a boom in new employment relationships compared to last year, the lowest level of recourse to layoffs since the pandemic broke out and there are no feared and terrible mass layoffs”, highlights Tridico. “Ours are real administrative data, not surveys, data analyzes. And we are told that the contribution flows, that is the contributions that companies and workers pay to the Institute, increased by 8 percent in the semester between January and June 2021 compared to at the same period of 2020. It is a trend that allows us to say that at the end of the year, contribution revenues, net of new closures that obviously no one hopes for, will return to pre-Covid levels “. “In terms of new employment relationships – he explains – we are talking about over 400,000 new employees in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. There was a lot of concern about the unblocking of layoffs in the industry but there was absolutely no Rather, there is a rebound in new employment relationships with a strong acceleration. We are witnessing a rapid absorption of layoffs. In July there was the lowest level of authorized layoff hours: 170 million against the 500 million of the previous month alone “.
