Confindustria would not be against
the introduction of a nine-euros-an-hour minimum wage along the
lines of a proposal made by almost all of Italy's opposition
parties, Carlo Bonomi, the industrial association's president,
said on Monday.
He added that the move would not affect Confindustria as its
collective contracts are all above the nine-euro mark.
"If we want to talk about a minimum wage with a nine-euro
threshold, it's not a problem for Confindustria," he told the
assembly of the Assolombarda section.
"All our contracts are above that. If we take the metalworkers'
contract, for example, the price is 11 euros.
"It is not true that industry doesn't pay well. It pays what is
right.
"There is no veto. On the contrary".
