the decision took it directly to the chairman of the Board, Matteo Renzi. Surprising not just the ministers sitting around the big table in Palazzo Chigi round. Nothing green light to the decree introduces a casual use brake vouchers, vouchers for hourly workers that according to the unions represent the last frontier of insecurity. And who in recent years they have experienced a ‘suspicion’ boom even according to the government, because we have gone from 500,000 vouchers used in 2008 to over 115 million last year. The text was on the agenda of yesterday afternoon’s meeting, the contents had been announced for weeks. The ground had been prepared by the announcement of the Head of State Sergio Mattarella, who last week had emphasized the importance of saying just “improper use of the voucher.” But, surprisingly, it’s postponement. With the result that, at this point, the decree will return to the Council of Ministers at least after the first round of Sunday’s elections for mayors of major cities. If not even later.
The political choice
Why this choice? There is a strictly political reason and one more merit. Let’s start from the political one. In these last days of campaigning work it is back on the political agenda. Even on the voucher the temperature rose. The Renzi fear is that the close on the good work could be considered too soft, giving space to the attacks of the Movement 5 stars. To understand better why you have to get off at the technical level. Today the enterprise which uses the vouchers has many constraints: buy them and then you can use within 30 days. And that’s that. The legislative decree postponed yesterday said that it becomes mandatory to communicate to INPS, via text message or email, the name and social security number of the employee, the place and duration of the service, at least 60 minutes before the start. This is to avoid, at least in intention, that the good purchased to remain in the drawer. It is “stamped” only in case of problems, such as an accident at work. Or that the same good, valid for one hour, is invoked in reality for a longer period. For those who violate the obligation to report, the decree triggers a penalty ranging from a minimum of 400 to a maximum of 2,400 euro. The close there, then. But even in the Democratic Party there are those who ask, and even asked to do more. In particular to narrow the field of application of the vouchers, which were born to pay only the students and pensioners who were the harvest, so you subtract the black economy. But that over the years have been extended to virtually all activities.
Is the node
the second reason for the postponement, to about , it has to do precisely with agriculture. In the latest version of the decree it was to pass an amendment that would have widened the net of traceability in this area. Only for agriculture voucher, ie, the obligation to email or sms and would face more elastic time limits. A choice that would have her motivation in the fact that on agricultural vouchers there are also other operational limitations. But you could pay to criticism “from the left”, moreover at a time when the government has just signed a protocol against the illegal hiring.
Sledge also solidarity
Now everything is back on the high seas. Including expansive solidarity, other measures contained in the decree postponed yesterday. What is it? It can make use of solidarity contracts, which reduce working hours and wages, not only to avoid layoffs. But also to proceed to new hires. Indeed, even on this point there has been discussion in the Council of Ministers. But just because the State Accounting Office has asked for more precise information on the costs of tax incentives. No surprise, this. But a classic for any measure that fishery resources from the public purse.
