What has never happened before in these 10 years “. Landini hopes for a” true confrontation, and not as it has happened on the tax side. ” errors, limits, inequalities. of the Fornero reform “, remarks Landini. Furthermore” we affirmed that the contribution system must be a system that also contains elements of solidarity: hence the question of the guarantee pension for young people and all those who have discontinuous activities “which intersects with “the theme of overcoming precariousness and having a stable, not precarious job, and with decent wages”. On the merits, Landini points out some of the points at the basis of the proposals of the unions and the unitary platform: flexibility in leaving “. which means being able to leave for 62 years or with 41 years of contributions without age restrictions, that it is necessary to review life expectancy according to the job, to recognize the work of care and of women. On all of these issues, the government has undertaken to let us have a calendar tomorrow morning to start the discussion from the beginning of next year. For us, times are as fast as possible “. And he also” raised the issue of health and safety in the workplace, even after the terrible accident in Turin. it must absolutely be changed.
