Rome: Italy will require all workers to show Coronavirus health feedback from Friday, one of the toughest anti-covid regimes in the world that has triggered riots and where many fears will cause “chaos”.
More than 85 percent of Italians over 12 years old have received at least one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine, making them eligible for what is called Green Pass Certificate.
But according to various estimates, around 2.5 million of the 23 million state workers were not vaccinated, and the risk was rejected access to the workplace of October 15.
“You don’t know about the chaos we will have in the company,” President of Firms, “The president of the North Veneto region which was very industrialized, Luca Zaia, said recently.
Not vaccinated workers can still get green bait by being tested for Coronavirus or With a recovery certificate, if they sign a virus in the previous six months.
If they choose to qualify despite testing, they must take it at their own expense, and repeat every 48 hours.
Zaia suggests there is not enough test capacity to meet potential demand, improve the prospect of absence Bulk from work.
“The entrepreneur I spoke to was very worried,” he said.
Green Passes is needed for other teachers and school workers, and for other activities such as eating in the room in the bar and restaurant, or going to theaters, museums and matches Football.
But they are not popular, at least between minorities The big up – as indicated by the riots last Saturday in Rome, where anti-pass demonstrations slumped into an attack on the CGIL trade union building led by the Forza Nuova Neo-Fascist party.
Whoever is trapped in the workplace without risking green after starting from 600 to 1,500 euros ($ 700-1700).
And those who failed to appear to work because they did not have a face suspension without payment – but could not be fired.
Meanwhile, employers can be fined 400-1,000 euros because they do not check whether their staff obeys the rules.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi chose the Covid track for last month in an effort to prevent further locking and support the Italian recovery from a recession record of 8.9 percent last year.
The size, which followed similar initiatives introduced in Greece last month, was also intended to increase the level of vaccination.
The Confindustria business lobby was among the green passers of Green Pass in Italy, one of the most hit by European countries by Coronavirus with more than 130,000 deaths.
The focus is on “creating a safe workplace possible …
because it is the only way to ensure public health and economic recovery,” said Vice President Maurizio Stirpe told Corriere Della Sera.
The trade union, on the other hand, has been skeptical.
They first called for rules of blankets forcing all Italians to be pasted, on the grounds that the option will avoid discrimination between vaccinated workers and not vaccinated.
– The threat of dock workers – but the government has stopped it, partly because of one member of the Right Coalition Government Draghi, National League Party Matteo Salvini, opposed the mandatory vaccine.
Once the government ignores the advice of trade unions, representatives of workers managed to request that employees who are not vaccinated must be suspended rather than being fired.
But trade unions failed to secure free Covid tests for workers they want the country or entrepreneur to pay.
“Personally, I will be tested,” Stefano, one of the people who protested in Rome last week, told AFP.
But he complained that it was “absurd” for him to have to pay to continue doing his job.
So far, only dock workers in Trieste are offered the possibility of free Covid tests, but they still threaten to block all activities in their port, the main center in the northeast, from October 15.
Meanwhile, there are fears of violence can break out again next Saturday, when the anti-pass movement is planning further protests and the union is preparing a large anti-fascist rally in Rome.
