New labour summit, focus in decree on those most exposed to high living costs

New meeting at Palazzo Chigi to finalise the work decree to be approved in the run-up to May Day. On her return from the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as reported by Palazzo Chigi sources, convened the competent ministers to finalise a measure to meet the needs of workers and businesses.

The intervention takes on an urgent character in the light of the international context, which puts the labour market under great pressure, requiring preventive and structural action.

The aim is the adoption of a comprehensive package of measures to support the groups most exposed to the high cost of living, with measures to ensure fair pay.

Particular attention will be paid to young people and women, in order to consolidate the positive signs already recorded and enhance their potential. Work is also being done on a more incisive fight against the phenomena of exploitation and caporalato. The meeting was attended by the deputy prime ministers, Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini (in video link-up), the ministers Marina Calderone, Giancarlo Giorgetti and Tommaso Foti, the undersecretary in charge of the South, Luigi Sbarra, the undersecretaries in charge of the presidency, Giovanbattista Fazzolari and Alfredo Mantovano, and the State Accountant General, Daria Perrotta.
