Automatic salary increase with inflation, what the League's proposal provides

The League has presented a bill for automatic salary increases based on inflation.
It is called the "salaries bill" and has the aim of giving second level negotiations, both territorial and company, the possibility of using the cost of living parameter, in addition to those already provided for by law.
How does it work? The League's proposal provides for the attribution of additional economic benefits to public and private employees.
As explained by Senator Massimiliano Romeo, leader of the Northern League group at Palazzo Madama, with this rule we want to introduce a new element, attributing to workers a differentiated sum based on the place where the company is based, providing for private employers a tax credit to cover expenses incurred.
The consolidated law currently provides that the ancillary treatment is linked to individual and organizational performance and the performance of activities that are particularly dangerous to health; Romeo's proposal also adds the variation in the cost of living depending on the geographical area of residence.
According to Romeo, the principle of "equal pay does not disappear", but both the opposition and the unions do not seem to support the same line of "common sense" considered valid by the Northern League senator.
The South, according to what has been criticized, is already discriminated against by levels of unemployment, weak networks and infrastructures and the lack of industrialization of some sectors.
Marco Sarracino, deputy and head of the South of the PD's national secretariat, defined the League's proposal as "Italy-splitting".

As Massimiliano Romeo, who presented the bill, explains, the bill aims to: give second level bargaining, territorial and company, the possibility of using the cost of living parameter, in addition to those already provided for by law, in attribution of additional economic benefits to public and private employees.
At the moment the consolidated law provides for the additional treatment of state workers linked to individual performance, organizational performance of dangerous activities, while the proposed law also wants to add another element, namely the cost of living in the Region of residence.
Again according to Romeo, "the principle of equal pay does not disappear", because a new element would be introduced which attributes a differentiated sum to workers based on the place where the company is based, providing private employers with a credit tax to cover expenses incurred.

For Massimiliano Romeo, in fact, the proposal is pure "common sense", but according to the federal secretary of the CGIL, Francesca Re David, it would be better to talk about "wage cages and a new front against an attack on the solidarity function of the national contract and on the union as as a collective representative of the workers".
As King David reminds us, the South is already discriminated against by levels of unemployment, by deindustrialisation, by the weakness of networks and infrastructures, by healthcare and services which risk suffering further cuts.
The opposition also goes on the attack and through the voice of Marco Sarracino, deputy responsible for the South of the national secretariat of the PD, he commented that after the differentiated autonomy, the bill for the differentiated salary increase is another attempt to "split Italy and increase the gaps”.
