Berlusconi said today that if he wins the referendum, no to the Fiat Mirafiori, Marchionne would do well to move the company abroad.
Now: the country is in crisis, people do not know where to go and bang your head and there's a powerful man who blackmails workers (because workers threaten to move the company in another country if you do not agree to have fewer rights is blackmail) that can afford to do so, a more powerful man (who should rule the country) supports it.
As Luigi de Magistris says: "Work is not a concession that offers those in power. Chi government must create the conditions for the work is a right" (full article here ) and not only is he to say, in Italy we have a piece of paper called the Constitution of the Republic, whose first article states that "Italy is a democratic republic founded on work", but the nice thing is that the subsequent articles better clarify the issue:
"Article 1
Italy is a democratic republic, founded on work.
Sovereignty belongs the people and is exercised in the manner and within the limits of the Constitution.
Article 2
The Republic recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights both as an individual and social groups in which he expresses his personality, and requires the fulfillment mandatory duties of political solidarity, economic and social development.
Article 3
All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, of personal and social conditions.
is the duty of the Republic to remove obstacles to economic and social nature which constrain the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social development of the country.
Article 4
The Republic recognizes all citizens the right to work and promotes conditions to fulfill this right.
Every citizen has a duty to perform according to their ability and individual choice, activity or function that contributes to the material or spiritual progress of society. "
And then, a prime minister who supports a proposal that in fact deprives workers of their rights, workers who are forced to adopt this proposal because have no alternative and they have not because the state does not do his duty, as a prime minister, is meeting the country's constitution is supposed to represent?
And below some links (from the Republic) to deepen the main topics of the referendum:
