With the blocking of layoffs, the perverse dream of the left has come true, but at what price?
If we wanted to delve into the innermost fantasies of the Italian-style Soviets, we could certainly find traces of the idea that for years has been able to hold ground in the various souls of the left: Article 18, the protection of dismissals. The Italian Tavarish questioned for a long time about the reasons by virtue of which the Italian legal system recognizes the possibility of firing companies, as if to consider the termination of a job a real fault: and so on to the intelligentsia highest and highest, whether institutional, political or trade union, it matters little, which almost unanimously has worked towards the enemy of the proletariat: the entrepreneur who fires.
We can't, we mustn't, we don't want to. They say.
The emergency legislation has entered with a straight leg and has realized that perverse dream of the radical left, which still cannot understand today where the foundation of this aberrant employer power is hidden. How, where and why?
It is not difficult, yet. The secret is in that Constitutional Charter which is always referred to as "the most beautiful in the world" only to forget its content, its fundamental and inspiring principles, but above all by pretending not to understand how it is placed at the top of the hierarchy of legal sources – with some legitimate European intrusion. The number one enemy of the amatriciana Cossacks is right there.
So, the dismissal. Protected by article 41, or the freedom of private economic initiative, and reinforced by article 42, with regard to private property – hit as hard as possible in all its forms, including that of business means and tools – the dismissal was the subject of an intervention as detailed and specific as it is unconvincing: from 17 March last year, or since the Cura Italia Decree came into force, dismissals are prohibited, with a few rare exceptions, with the declared intention of "safeguarding jobs ”jeopardized by the economic crisis, undoubtedly triggered by the management of the pandemic.
The deadline has now been extended to the end of October. There is no precedent in Italy, and there are no similar cases either in the EU countries or outside the continent: no ban in France, Germany and the Netherlands, countries in which there is a marked social legislation where only a strengthening of the support measures has been envisaged. to income. The same fate also in Great Britain, a country with a liberal tradition, where the ordinary rules on the motivation for dismissals remain in force, while a limit is introduced only in Spain, which establishes a ban for the 6 months following the use of a social safety net. Not even the shadow of a ban in the United States, but there was no question.
The question, therefore, does not square in any way. We are witnessing a real forced expropriation of the financial means of companies which, unable to dismiss or otherwise reorganize their business, end up involuntarily taking on the burden of social security: in summary, law 604 / has been implicitly repealed. 1966 which governs individual dismissals, through a rule of dubious reasonableness and proportionality, therefore in open conflict with the Constitution.
An illiberal, unconstitutional, illogical and harmful rule in every respect.
Companies are being shut down to save jobs. This is the intent, but the result will be exactly the opposite: in months, when all the hype of the pandemic will inevitably subside, and when the companies – which have survived – will once again have full possession of their prerogatives, the nefarious effects will emerge. of those who have hidden the dust under the carpet and there will be multiple industrial crises in a chain with thousands of redundancies in all sectors.
He doesn't quit in 2021, but he risks bankruptcy anyway by the end of the year. And with these assumptions, the risk is also for that large, inefficient company called Italy. A risk of economic collapse, which can only be avoided by releasing the energies of the market and private individuals, who are fighting alone a real battle for survival.
