employees, companies operating in a dishonest manner and personnel personnel
The most dependent workforce in the seasonal tourism sector is a factor-driven demand. Two of these aspects, on which we have focused our attention for years, are the quality of recruitment and the quality of work. These are deeply intertwined issues concerning, among other things, business culture. When a company seeks personnel through illegal systems, the result is almost always opaque working relationships, where exploitation becomes the central element. Patrizia Rinaldis, President of AIA, has issued appreciable declarations of denunciation regarding illegal work and certainly when “suspicious agencies” appear in our territory an active confrontation is structured. On the size and quality of the phenomenon, however, our opinion is different. We are not faced with “bad apples” or “crafty ones”. Things should be called by their name. Dishonest conduct is carried out both for what the user companies and for those who illegally provide personnel. As the Free Job operation showed, there is a system that involved workers in violation of employment regulations by illegitimately carrying out the agency activities without having authorization. The data on the irregularities found in the tourism work are provided by the inspection bodies and return the image of large plantations of rotten apples (70 companies with work irregularities every 100 inspected, according to the National Labor Inspectorate.
A social safety net that emerges from irregular work. We have been saying this for some time: one of the causes of the lack of manpower is the absence of a system of seasonal unemployment benefits for tourism, linked to active labor policies, which guarantees continuity of income. A mechanism that encourages the emergence of irregular work is possible. Today the policy, by not paying the seasonal tourism workers and not guaranteeing any taking in charge, through specific active labor policies, the workers from tourism and does not discourage illegality. If for every day worked in good standing in seasonal tourism, Naspi guaranteed more than dependent treatment, no seasonal tourism worker would accept indecent job offers and the whole system would tend to realignment in the direction of legality. The business is done with work and the earnings must be redistributed. The catch-all entrepreneur risks being left alone and this is what is happening in the tourism industry. Our thanks and our applause go to the repressive action carried out by the Guardia di Finanza and the Territorial Labor Inspectorate. But we need to do more prevention and on this the Provincial Pact for Work and Climate signed on 12 March last, provided for action to be taken to achieve the objectives useful for the enhancement of skills and the quality of work starting from the strengthening of the Center for ‘Employment and the Active Network of Labor.
