The Council of Ministers approved, on October 17, the final draft of the text which ratifies the Welfare protocol, rewritten after social partners' protests (see our article n° 070851). Even if the new version of this text satisfies trade unions and employers, it was confronted to a strong opposition from the radical left-wing party and from the "precarious workers" who massively demonstrated on October 20. (Ref. 070873)
Gathered in an extraordinary session, the Council of Ministers approved, on October 17, the final draft of the bill going over the July 23 Protocol, amended after three days of tense negotiation with social partners. The signatory parties declared that the spirit and the content of the protocol were finally found. Gugliemo Epfiani, CGIL national secretary, welcomed this new draft and declared that the “text now squares with our agreement and, on a few topics, it is even clearer”.
