Manifesto of the work of the Democratic Party

Premessa

Il Partito Democratico deve essere un grande partito del lavoro e rappresentare politicamente il valore del lavoro in quanto massima espressione della personalità, della creatività, dell’ingegno umano oltre che della dignità della persona.

Il sistema di valori e i programmi che caratterizzeranno il nuovo Partito Democratico devono fondarsi su una partecipazione attiva, ampia, convinta e passionale. The constituent phase must be the occasion for an open and fertile ground for discussion, aimed at renewing relationships with society and people, with the unions, business associations and the voluntary. The process of creating the new political entity must be a great opportunity to design and build a new political representation of labor, a new block of social responsibility and solidarity, work-focused, whether it is economically dependent, independent, professional and self-employment.

We have always and will put the focus of our action people. So we think the work is pivotal in our working lives and our choices of autonomy, and achievement of liberation from need and is a founding value of the Democratic Party. Think of the jobs in the plural, that in the production and services, the voluntary work and care work, often carried out together. We care about the work that absorbs us completely, what is missing and you try in vain, to what is lost without hope, often becoming too human drama and family.

do not accept that women are excluded from management levels and they lose work and professionalism if they choose to bear children. We do not accept that motherhood, treatment of diseases, the course of study periods and retraining are seen as despicable incidents and benefits to society and businesses, as well as for individuals and families. Nobody should be or feel abandoned, left behind. We do not accept that the discomfort grows, you lose confidence, that we are satisfied that people, especially women and young people, retire to individual survival strategies. It would be a betrayal of social policies but also policies for sustainable economic development and sustainable, which must be based on talent, quality and expertise. The improvements in the social environment are an essential part of the production system, financial and economic. State no less, but more services, efficient and accessible, quality and integrity in the area, protecting and promoting more widespread social, more collective bargaining, more political to support the redistribution of roles.

We want to reverse the trend, cut conveniences to undeclared work and undeclared evils among the deepest in the country, reduce the growing inequality, with tools for promotion and the prevention of discrimination and ensure security for people who work, for road counteract the insecurity, a root system of quality training throughout the whole of life; intervene in time, now that the working time is prolonged rather than diminished, and that the time shall be women, on which rests the weight a settlement more difficult between care work and work for the market.

These are the foundations for a new social contract of citizenship, gender, generations and nations, written on the rights and responsibilities, individual and collective, that offers solutions to the uncertainty of living in change. The people who work demand dignity and security.

not just a fragment of any occupation. It can happen, but we do not accept that it becomes a form of work in time. We want to heal the fragmentation of work, which led to the absurd proliferation of types of contract, and bring them back to the most popular in European countries. We want every job has rules and safeguards, according to a model of extension and modulation which takes into account the needs, entrusting crucial role the social partners. Democracy in workplaces, new and fair industrial relations, active participation of female and male workers, trade union freedoms and rights can not be regarded as empty words.

The labor law is different in the European Union, and our goal is its harmonization with the European social model inclusive and supportive, provided to promote improvements in different areas of the world, with the introduction of minimum levels of rights Fundamental and no race to the bottom. The language of the European full and quality employment is not in the book of dreams. Many European countries have been able to settle cohesion and development, protection and productivity, social mobility. Not we think that there are miracle solutions to be imported, but with seriousness and authority necessary to design, repositioning the heart of the European social model.

work have changed. Necessary to interpret and find solutions. The different starting conditions and the different aspirations and needs require innovation and substance, individual responses within a comprehensive framework and coordinated reforms careful and balanced on the basis of consultation and social dialogue and respecting the division of powers between state and self- premises. Good choices are not, however, possible without the participation and trust of the people, leaders reconciled in community life and collective.

We think that should be provided responses to the uncertainty of living in change, also caused by changes in global production and financial systems, and build bridges, starting with the labor and social achievements of the last century, not yet completed, and should be back at the center and take serious constitutional principles: the work as a right and a duty, to protect work in all its forms and applications.

Each and every one of us has the right to plan his life, to be master of its own future and their own creation, without being constrained by insecurity of employment status and poverty. And 'social justice. E 'to ensure a future for our country. These

sono gli obiettivi che noi democratici intendiamo mettere al centro della nostra azione politica. Come? E’ una sfida che richiede risorse finanziarie e tanta innovazione, non solo normativa, ma anche culturale e organizzativa. La vinceremo assieme, tenendo la barra salda.


1. Centralità e valori del lavoro nelle politiche riformiste

• I riformisti ribadiscono il valore centrale del lavoro nell’economia e nella società secondo le indicazioni costituzionali, e quindi riaffermano la piena e buona occupazione come obiettivo prioritario dell’azione riformatrice. Questo obiettivo deve caratterizzare le politiche del Partito democratico, la cui sollecita costituzione i riformisti consider necessary for the country's future. For this objective are not enough isolated policy, should be reconsidered in a unitary framework of the entire economic and social policies of the country in the light of radical changes occurred in the workplace and in society over the last century. Not enough and even small adjustments to the existing of past reforms. Nor can we afford nostalgia Passat is a paradigm shift in economic and social, with radical reforms in the rules and policies of work as the production system and welfare. The common values \u200b\u200bof the reformist social-democratic traditions, Catholic and liberal-democratic - solidarity, rights and protection, security and the same dignità del lavoro - vanno reinterpretati per contrastare le spinte alla frammentazione dei lavori, per dare risposta all’incertezze e alle disuguaglianze sociali indotte dalla concorrenza globale, per ridare senso allo sviluppo e al lavoro.

• Per questo motivo i riformisti sottolineano l’importanza prioritaria della crescita; non di una crescita qualsiasi, ma di uno sviluppo sostenibile e di qualità; perché solo questo permette di ottenere benessere diffuso e un lavoro di qualità per tutti; il lavoro precario di oggi è anche prodotto di una economia di bassa qualità, di una crescita frenata e di imprese fragili.

• La sfida della concorrenza globale, non si può affrontare con success by focusing on reducing costs, especially those of labor, but only with an economic policy that draws on research, dissemination of knowledge, the resources of our territories and social cohesion.

• A commitment to competitiveness and development is needed to build up a solid base of political support for employment capable of raising the employment rate and to counter the lack of quality work that is one of the main weaknesses of our model Economic and unacceptable injustice of our social system.

• We believe that economic development should be reconciled with the equality in a substantive way and to the safety of people so as to be functional human development: this is the profound meaning of the European social model, which all the reformers of the continent must inspire.

2. The conciliation as a method of government support for collective bargaining

• The challenges of social and economic change can be won only by mobilizing around common objectives of reform all the energies of the country of the cities and citizens, workers and employees, social partners and institutions. This belief motivates the centrality of political consultation as a way for discussion of all issues and social labor. We must, as indicated in protocollo sociale europeo di Maastricht, i governi competenti ai vari livelli debbano far precedere alle loro decisioni in materia sociale una fase di concertazione di lunghezza adeguata, con tutte le parti sociali interessate e debbono tener conto delle intese fra queste intercorse nell’attuazione delle stesse decisioni.

• Gli obiettivi sono più ambiziosi di quelli del passato; non riguardano solo la politica dei redditi, propria del patto del 1993, ma anzitutto il rilancio della competitività del paese e quindi della crescita. A tal fine è urgente che le parti si impegnino a concludere nei prossimi mesi un patto per la competitività e per lo sviluppo, in raccordo con la concertazione necessaria per le azioni di riforma del Government on issues of labor market, social security and welfare. In accordance with the method of consultation is important that we enhance the collective bargaining as a primary instrument for regulating employment relationships is both the labor market. To this end, we hope that the parties to review the contractual structure adopted by the 1993 pact to make bargaining more suited to contribute to improving employment, modernization of the production system and to ensure higher levels of pay to workers. In this context, it is useful and necessary to raise an action of contract able to recognize and appreciate the merits and collective skills and / or individual with the aim of restore dignity to the value of professional work and to win back "contract authority" to define career paths and promotion of knowledge.

• A decisive role in regulating the responsibility of the trading conditions for this flexibility is not only sustainable but also profitable for both parties. One must distinguish between flexibility and precariousness. The negotiated flexibility is the way to combat insecurity and improve the labor market. It should in particular enhance the functional internal flexibility of those times, mobility and professional enrichment, which are considered priorities in the best European experiences, coniugando la flessibilità nell’interesse dell’impresa con quella che interessa i lavoratori. Vogliamo intervenire sul tema dei tempi e dei lavori, riconoscendo centralità al riequilibrio delle responsabilità familiari.

• Una regolazione specifica dovrà essere negoziata per il contratto a termine: 1) per definirne l’uso in conformità all’idea che la forma normale è il rapporto a tempo indeterminato; 2) per affermare che il contratto a termine deve rispondere a esigenze temporanee dell’impresa; 3) contrastare gli abusi, specie nella reiterazione dei contratti oltre un certo limite temporale.

3. Nuove regole e tutele per i rapporti di lavoro.

• Good quality employment requires that all workers and all workers are adequately protected during the various stages and conditions of employment. That is a fundamental goal, set in the program of the center, is to support the permanent job as a normal form of employment. To this end, the Finance Act of 2007 recognized the 3-point reduction in labor costs to employers only for permanent employees: thus giving an incentive consisting of (unprecedented) to the stabilization of relations.

• A second measure in the same direction is to overcome the current differences in cost of insurance between employed and partnerships or quasi-subordinate work that have favored the development of these forms, also quite unusual compared to other countries, and often used to cover employee relations. The attempts to bring normalcy to the phenomenon of operational cooperation on the definition of the case, as was done by Law 30/2003 with the configuration of a project contract (instead of co.co.co) were observed inadequate. On the other hand is not a realistic solution that is proposed to overcome this problem by broadening the definition of employment to include also new types of semi-autonomous work or economically dependent.

• The road reform, followed in Europe, is to broaden the protections and set di adattarle alle caratteristiche dei nuovi tipi di lavoro compresi quelli che si collocano in un area grigia fra lavoro dipendente e autonomo. Proponiamo un sistema di tutele che integri quelle contenute nello statuto dei lavoratori del 1970, secondo le linee delineate già dall’Ulivo con il ddl denominato Carta dei Diritti delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori, che estende alcuni diritti sociali fondamentali al lavoro economicamente dipendente, individuato sulla base di una serie di indici (primo fra tutti la monocommittenza). In questa direzione si è già mossa l’azione di governo che ha esteso ai contratti a progetto e di collaborazione alcune tutele fondamentali, normative ed economiche, nei casi di malattia, maternità e infortunio. L’ambito of these protections will be built upon with the parties both in terms of the employment relationship (for example in relation to just compensation, notice, etc.) both in terms of the effects of social security to workers to ensure an adequate intermittent path pension (with contributions figurative or equivalent). A minimum number of treatments will be common to all workers. E 'to evaluate the possibility of extending the guarantee of minimum standards for compensation also widely experienced in other countries.

• Central remains the promotion of services, common, accessible, quality, road to allow people to choose without blackmail and constraints and to implement in reality il principio della parità di opportunità. Occorrono politiche che favoriscano il riequilibrio delle responsabilità familiari e interventi sugli strumenti che consentono la flessibilità e la riduzione dell’orario di lavoro tenendo conto delle esigenze delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori (part- time, congedi familiari adeguatamente retribuiti, incentivi per il rientro al lavoro professionale dopo periodi dedicati al lavoro di cura, compensazione del tempo di cura anche ai fini pensionistici).

• Importante è proiettarsi verso un patto tra generi, generazioni e genti, che consenta di sostenere l’autonomia dei giovani e la loro entrata nella vita attiva (prestiti d’onore, crediti per l’avvio di attività business and professional), to cross tutoring for those who are approaching retirement to young people entering the jobs market also through forms of part-time. An effective action for the active old age is needed to counteract the negative effects of the imbalance in the population and to make viable the flexibility and retirement ages, in correspondence with the lengthening of life expectancy.

• The issue of security must be placed in this broad perspective of boosting economic development and employment. The priority for security is also to offer more opportunities for workers keep decent work by counteracting the tendency to prematurely expel workers over 50. The best incentives to the elevation of the retirement age are the opportunities for good jobs. As it is written in the program of the Union, it is not to make a new reform, but to continue and update the principles of the Dini 1995. We reject the logic of the "staircase" because it unfairly discriminates between groups of workers. We want to promote the adjustment of the retirement age gradually and without the unfair penalization of the Maroni law. Grounds of fairness also require that you provide different treatment for the arduous work (and temporary) and Another verse that is to be done to raise the pensions to be, starting with low skills. A particularly sensitive issue concerns the revision of the conversion coefficients for the calculation of pension contributions, Dini required by law to maintain balance in the system. The methods of the review should be verified, as is the whole problem in the conciliation process with the social partners, and should be evaluated in the long term implications to avoid affecting the appropriate level of future pensions. It should be considered, in particular, the impact of discontinuous working and low-contribution pension on the result of young people who will have the full pension calculated with the contribution system. It must To this end, introducing a kind of redistribution within the pension system.

4. The occupational safety

health and safety in the workplace is an issue that certifies the degree of progress in civil, social, economic and moral of a country. The battle over security is therefore a clash of civilization because it is unacceptable to die working. The priorities of an effective strategy to combat workplace accidents and occupational diseases are:
- a major campaign to spread a message of workplace safety through improved information and training, the inclusion of health and safety School and university programs, dissemination of good practice and appropriate attention by the media of mass from the creation of a digital channel on the job;
- the fight against undeclared work and uneven, with particular reference to some spatial and social contexts, and precarious employment, such as determinants of occupational accidents;
- revise the legislation on health and safety at work, in accordance with Community provisions, the balance between state and regions and of ' uniform protection throughout the country; thing to do through a "text only" - promoted jointly by the ministries of labor and health - that innovate and simplifying the existing legal framework
- enhancement of the contributions of social partners and the bilateral
- a clear redefinition of the tasks of inspection and prevention from a better coordination between the various institutions, designed to ensure maximum effectiveness and the strengthening of their activities, carried out through agreements specifically targeted to the peculiarities of the territory;
- the provision of measures, rewards for honest businesses;
- strengthening the role and the protection of the Workers' Representatives Safety;
- the redevelopment of INAIL by developing the profile of body preventor enhancing its proactive approach towards business and promotional ..

5. The transformation of the company.

• The policies of reform must also take responsibility of the metamorphosis of the company, including outsourcing and outsourcing are the most visible manifestation. These trends can not be recreating the combat cage Fordist factory or by imposing new constraints, which would only plaster the labor market and stifle innovation, but renew the thread of responsibility towards their workers, the employer chief beneficiary of the work, beyond the direct dependence.

• In this perspective, we must: 1) redefine, in the light of recent legislation, regimes of responsibility and solidarity between the client and contractor or subcontractor to the obligations of the reports used, 2) establish the requirement for the contractor to apply the collective agreements concluded by trade unions comparatively more representative, and 3) ensure that the transfer of a business it actually constitutes a joint undertaking functionally independent.

• In a market economy transformations of the companies escape directly control but may be influenced by economic and labor policies che ne orientino le convenienze; ad esempio: 1) rafforzando la qualità e la solidità delle strutture produttive specie delle PMI; 2) favorendo le trasformazioni di carattere innovativo a preferenza di quelle motivate da intenti speculativi o di mero taglio dei costi; 3) promuovendo una equilibrata distribuzione delle risorse sul territorio e fra settori produttivi; 4) sostenendo politiche attive del lavoro e della formazione che garantiscano il miglioramento continuo delle competenze e delle professionalità e che facilitino la transizione dei lavoratori, garantendo la continuità dei diritti nella discontinuità dei percorsi; 5) promuovendo comportamenti socialmente responsabili delle imprese e in particolare introducendo il piano sociale nell’ambito process of corporate restructuring; 6) enhancing the legislative support with the participation of employees in accordance with European directives (eg the dual system) and in general forms of economic democracy.

• Our goals to promote growth and good jobs also involve measures to modernize the public administration and enhance the public work. Improving the quality of public services is crucial both to support economic growth and to make actually usable to all social rights and citizenship. To this end, resume and strengthen the reform actions undertaken in recent years along the lines indicated in the Memorandum between the Government and Employers' Confederations sindacali. In particolare è importante: rendere effettivo l’esercizio della responsabilità della dirigenza pubblica, e garantire l’autonomia rispetto al potere politico; potenziare la formazione del personale a tutti i livelli come leva determinante dell’innovazione e dell’efficienza delle amministrazioni; rendere effettivamente operanti meccanismi premianti che valorizzino il merito e la competenza del personale a tutti i livelli, gestiti da una dirigenza sempre più qualificata e responsabilizzata, adottare opportuni strumenti di trasparenza e metodologie che coinvolgano cittadini e utenti rispetto all’efficienza delle amministrazioni;superare le situazioni di precariato accumulatesi in questi ultimi anni e regolamentare measures of outsourcing, to boost trading and streamlining of contracts to allow fora function enhancement.

6. Protection, employment services and training for good jobs.

• The loss of centrality of the Fordist requires a rethinking of the areas and means of job protection: an extension of regulation from a single report to work on the labor market and more generally the conditions of labor in society. This implies a balanced innovation while maintaining the defense of employment as a condition of a guarantee of the dignity of persons working (Type "Mediterranean"), to intervene effectively in the protection of individuals in varying conditions of life and work (the northern European model). Is the integration of the two fundamental goals of labor law: an articulated regulation of the relationship (atypical and typical) and active policy measures aimed at improving the functioning of the labor market and support the work (also) working in the discontinuity of the journey.

• The concept of protection should be rethought substantial not only in static protection regulations, but in a set of services that enrich the content and allow their effective use.

• In the Italian context, the priority is to promote a greater level of efficiency and accessibility of public services, overcome weaknesses and inequalities between the various functional areas (because the services are most needed in their areas of the South where it is most urgent). To this end you must support and national coordination of regional initiatives in order to make more effective the same policies of regions and local authorities, in particular to ensure common minimum standards across the country, beginning with the accreditation criteria public and private centers.

• Training must be affirmed as a fundamental right and duty in the knowledge society. Should potenziare l’istruzione di base e l’obbligo formativo fino ai 18 anni. Innovazioni radicali sono necessarie per le attività di formazione professionale ai vari stadi: dall’apprendistato alla formazione continua. Vogliamo che l’apprendistato sia: 1) il canale unico di accesso al lavoro dai 16 ai 18 anni; 2) che sia arricchito nei contenuti formativi e nelle competenze dei formatori, con un innalzamento della qualità dell’offerta di formazione regionale esterna all’azienda; 3) che siano definite più precisamente le rispettive responsabilità e competenze di stato, regioni e parti sociali, lo Stato dovendo stabilire gli standard minimi lasciando agli altri due attori la scelta dei profili formativi; 4) correlando gli incentivi economici alla formazione formale effettivamente svolta.

• La formazione continua e permanente devono essere potenziate e garantite a tutte le lavoratrici e a tutti i lavoratori fino all’età anziana per arrivare ai livelli stabiliti dall’UE.

• Va sancito, anche nel rapporto di lavoro, il diritto individuale alla formazione che deve essere sostenuto con incentivi specifici agli interessati, lavoratori e imprese, per finalizzare meglio gli interventi e rompere le logiche autoreferenziali delle offerte formative.

• L’offerta del sistema va qualificata con interventi volti ad assicurare, secondo regole comuni su tutto il territorio nazionale, un sistema di certification of skills and higher standards for accreditation of public and private entities that provide training;
• Finally, the decision dealt with the issue of raising domestic resources for the financing of vocational training, overcoming the current situation whereby the vocational training system in our country largely depends on community resources.

7. A safety net for workers and businesses

• A policy priority is to establish a safety net and universal protections available to all active employees. This reform, too long delayed is necessary to ensure a sustainable and flexibility to combat the risks of instability and insecurity in the labor market. At the same time serves to facilitate the process of reorganizing production applicants under the current system, making non-traumatic paths of mobility of workers. We intend to resume the main lines of reform contained in the proposals of the Olive in continuity with the guidelines of the 1997 Boards Onofri updated based on a comparison with the social partners, we consider the following fundamental principles:
- Definition of a financial benefit in an amount unified and universal (for all workers and all businesses) in cases of unemployment and suspension dell’attività, prevedendone una durata definita, con una modulazione decrescente nel tempo, da riconoscere, con adeguate forme, anche ai lavoratori discontinui;
- Sostegno a forme integrative di sostegno del reddito concordate fra le parti sociali, anche per il tramite degli enti bilaterali, secondo le migliori esperienze già in atto, agevolate sul piano contributivo/fiscale;
- Sostegno alla continuità dei percorsi pensionistici dei lavoratori discontinui (con contributi figurativi e simili) e alla totalizzazione dei contributi maturati in diverse posizioni di lavoro;
- Valorizzazione della rete di sicurezza non solo come strumento di protezione ma come stimolo all’inserimento e al reinserimento al lavoro. A tal fine le prestazioni economiche previste per i casi di disoccupazione/sospensione vanno effettivamente condizionate alla disponibilità effettiva dei lavoratori interessati ad accettare offerte di formazione e di occupazione proposte dai servizi all’impiego. Condizioni precise al riguardo vanno fissate in un patto di servizio fra lavoratori beneficiari del servizio e addetti dei servizi all’impiego con responsabilità reciproche definite. A tal fine vanno attrezzati efficacemente i servizi per l’impiego per valorizzare l’integrazione tra politiche attive e politiche passive. Le indennità dovranno essere erogate solo in seguito a periodiche conferme e accertamenti dell’effettivo adempimento degli obblighi contenuti nel patto di servizio;
- The extension of the safety net, should produce not only a system of protections for workers, but an instrument for stabilization of enterprises, especially SMEs: in the absence of shocks the market crisis and restructuring affecting all businesses and employees.
- A stabilization of the labor market requires that the safety net for employees are additional measures to support self-employment and entrepreneurship of the various forms of self but not yet considered by both labor policies and industrial policies: training measures and professional qualifications, work credit facilities, to support the capitalization to the aggregation and to facilitate access to services (technology, export, etc.), up to real insurance companies to deal with difficult economic times.

8. Specific policies that take into account differences

• The goal of full employment and good requires, in addition to general measures of adjustment also a number of active policies and incentives related to the specific conditions of individual beneficiaries and market situations work. All experience confirms the need to work these differences to achieve concrete results and avoid wasting resources. Taken together, these policies should be implemented with assistance from national institutions and shared regional autonomy Within their respective powers.

• On the level of incentives should be eliminated incentives useless and must be overcome the fragmentation of existing interventions involving duplication and wasted resources, a drastic simplification and moving to their unitary configuration, as implemented by reducing the tax wedge . Support must be provided in specific areas of weakness, particularly of the south, in automated form in the form of tax credit to be coordinated with policies for boosting economic development in those regions.

• Policies and specific incentives are aimed at increasing the employment opportunities of underrepresented groups in the market labor, which are young people, women and the elderly, and generally people who live in the south. Raising the employment rate of these groups is not only right in itself but essential to make sustainable burden of the welfare state: pension, health care, of assistance.

9. Combating undeclared work

• An exceptional effort and specific policies are then required to combat the scourge of illegal employment burdens that our job market and is the worst form of denial of workers' rights. To this aim must be addressed to a converged set of tools, some already under way, both the incentive and control and penalties:
- financial support and service to companies that undertake the work of emerging;
- systematic investigations on the size of employment and revenues of companies with technical and presumptive indicators of compliance used by such industry studies;
- checks on compliance with specific standards working in the system of contractors and subcontractors, and regularity of the corporate business;
- enhanced penalties for irregular situations;
- actions to restore the context of environmental law, which is crucial for the regularity of work;
- simplification of bureaucratic procedures for enterprise activities, with personal help, particularly alle piccole imprese in via di regolarizzazione.

10. Progressività delle misure in un disegno unitario

• Le politiche presentate in questo manifesto richiedono di essere attuate progressivamente nel tempo, come tutte le vere azioni riformatrici; ma rispondono ad un obiettivo unitario consistente nella promozione della piena e buona occupazione come strumento fondamentale di sviluppo economico e umano. Esse sono coerenti con la strategia comunitaria che vuol mettere l’Europa in grado di competere a livelli di eccellenza nel contesto globale, offrendo a tutti i suoi cittadini le opportunità della società della conoscenza e occasioni di benessere stabili e distribuite equamente.
• La definizione e l’attuazione delle tappe di questo percorso riformatore sono possibili solo con l’impegno congiunto delle istituzioni pubbliche, nazionali e territoriali, delle parti sociali e delle organizzazioni della società civile in una logica di concertazione costruttiva e continua. In tal modo le politiche del lavoro non solo contribuiscono al benessere economico e personale , ma diventano strumento di coesione sociale, coesione che costituisce, essa stessa, un bene prezioso per il progresso e l’equilibrio del paese.
• Le nostre proposte, che si ispirano alle migliori pratiche europee, sono rivolte a tutti i lavoratori, tipici e atipici, subordinati e autonomi. Vanno coordinate con le politiche economiche di sviluppo e riguardano all aspects of labor market policies and welfare:

- the promotion of collective bargaining as the primary source of labor regulation and flexibility;
- a modular system of protections and rights for workers at different stages of life and work in the relationship and the job market,
- Basic training for all young people complemented by professional training to accompany citizens and workers in the course of life, to enrich the knowledge and support employability;
- A system of services Accompanying the work incentives and employment-oriented development of the various actors and different areas of the country;
- A system of income protection che accompagni le lavoratrici e i lavoratori, specie i più esposti a rischi di precarietà, nelle transizioni proprie dell’attuale mercato del lavoro e che si colleghi ai servizi dell’impiego e alla formazione continua con l’obiettivo di attivare tutte le possibilità di impiego e reimpiego;
- Un sistema pensionistico che garantisca tutele economiche eque e sostenibili per tutti i lavoratori, e che sia funzionale a un insieme più ampio di politiche per la vecchiaia attiva;
- Una giustizia del lavoro meno costosa, più efficiente e veloce;
- Un sistema di relazioni collettive di lavoro che promuova la partecipazione delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori nell’impresa e nell’economia.

A modern vision of the work recognizes the equal dignity of self-employment, the professions, to create enterprise, with supporting policies, resources, tools, those who choose to undertake, to invest on themselves, risking their own, enhance their professional autonomy. And the business world, large-and medium-sized, like the rich fabric of small-businesses need to be decisive player in the process of modernization and growth of Italy.

As a Labour Party has among its tasks the promotion of forms of social enterprises, cooperatives and non-profit.
