Government and unions have been fighting over the number of “left-out” workers for months. Besides, last week, the National Social Welfare Institution (INPS) released figures saying that 390,000 were affected. Later denies, this number was partially confirmed this week by the Foundation of Labor Consultants which claims they are 370,000.
