PREVIOUS

On 23 July 1993 the then Prime Minister, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and the Minister of Labor, Gino Giugni, signed the "Protocol for income and employment policy, on contractual structures, on labor policies and on support for productive system ”, a historic agreement with the trade unions and business associations that put an end to years of conflict by sanctioning the criterion of consultation of the social partners and defining the model of two-level bargaining, national and integrative. That set of rules started the season of income policy, establishing the coherence of contractual behavior with respect for collective rights and macroeconomic objectives of rapid reduction of debt and inflation, in line with the parameters of the Maastricht Treaty. The agreement, loyally respected, allowed the economy to return to growth and paved the way, many years later, for Italy's entry into the Euro. Today, as in 1993, in an even more difficult moment for the national community, the goal of establishing a common horizon to aim at through dialogue and unitary planning returns.

In this context, with the extraordinary opportunity of the Next Generation Eu to be seized, the women and men of the Public Administration take on the role of keystone for the restart. They have been the backbone of the country, providing essential services during the pandemic. Now the Pact recognizes them as the pivots of digital and sustainable reconstruction.

BRUNETTA'S INTERVENTION

"For our people – said President Sergio Mattarella – the face of the Republic is what appears in everyday life: the hospital, the town hall, the school, the court, the museum".

We are all aware of the difficulties of our country.

We are also here today because we have in common the choice, probably the only one in Europe, to take a first step to revive the country by focusing on public workers, those that President Mattarella has defined as the face of the Republic.

There are important precedents to which we want to refer, from the birth of the Republic onwards. But it was in 1992 that the dramatic financial and political crisis led to an unprecedented choice: to build a season of confrontation that allowed the country to emerge stronger.

With today's signature we want to lay the foundations for the construction of a new Italy, starting from the intuitions of Carlo Azeglio Ciampi to start a path that invests in the social partners, in innovation. It is the spirit of the time that needs to be recovered and which I personally remember for the honor I had of being able to contribute as an adviser to the Presidency of the Council at the time.

Today's signature assigns to social cohesion not a simple rhetorical repetition, but a founding value of a state that renews itself, modernizes itself on the value of the person and participation.

The choice of President Mario Draghi to enhance today's agreement with his signature places this new beginning under the best auspices, for the country and for its ability to focus on the responsibility of all parties to build a National Recovery Plan and Resilience investing in the state and its servants.

A state that renews itself represents the best card to overcome public-private rhetoric, guaranteed-unsecured distances, it asks for shared commitment and responsibility for common objectives.

This pact inaugurates a new season of trade union relations and the negotiations that are opening for the contract renewal will take place in this context. On Friday I will convene all the trade union confederations representing the civil service with the aim of starting negotiations in a short time. It is the best sign for us to restart. A good contract is an investment in mutual trust, stability and the innovative nature of working relationships.

Each innovation process is, in the culture of the speaker, a path of widespread participation. Focusing on people at the service of the state must mean looking forward, together, stronger.

I am grateful to the General Secretaries of CGIL CISL UIL for their immediate willingness to take this new path forward. Mutual recognition of the various issues to be represented is the best way we want to restart and the method we want to offer the country to unravel critical issues and grasp the countless challenges to which we are all called.
