In recent years we are seeing a worsening of wages and working conditions both in Italy and in worldwide.
This is due to pressure from the competition that businesses experience in global markets pushing down labor costs to increase profit.
Yet in some foreign countries, especially in the Scandinavian countries, in the face of higher wage level it is also able to produce ensuring a good profit margin.
Those countries are focusing on the quality of their productions that represent a high quality standard in the world, guarantee of excellent products.
In addition, they are able to get profits while saving on logistics, which if you proceed with the relocation, would have a high impact on profit levels.
In Italy, however, there has been a deterioration of the labor market, where they are coming all the guarantees conquered over the years by workers who hard made their voices heard in the past.
We hope that as soon as there is an awareness of these issues by those who are at the top of society and that we can in the shortest possible time, experience in Italy a new phase of widespread prosperity among workers as is happening in the Scandinavian countries.
