REFERENDUM INEVITABILE. Quello che il premier non vuol proprio concedere, è la legge anti-referendum sull´articolo 18 chiesta dal segretario Ds Piero Fassino. «C´è stata una richiesta di voto popolare, la Corte costituzionale ha giudicato ammissibile questo quesito. Credo che il referendum si debba fare». Quindi, niente leggina. Un bel guaio per la sinistra, lo stuzzicano i cronisti: «Sì, penso di sì», prende slancio il premier, «come si dice a Milano: hai voluto la bicicletta, ora pedala». Ugo Magri
This referendum is a nation-wide vote on the "Article 18" which, among other items, extend to employers with less then 15 people the obbligation to pay the employees the equivalent of one month pay for every year worked, at the end of their relationship.
The Italian left wanted the Referendum, but now some polls shows that the majority of the Italian voters believe, and vill vote accordingly, that this apparent workers benefits will translate into additional unemployment....so now they want to stop the Referendum!
