Boies Schiller Flexner partner Nicola Bonante and counsel Tiziana de Virgilio contributed to Milano Finanza with an article titled “Dal salario minimo al salario giusto” (“From Minimum Wage to Fair Wage”), offering an overview of the impact of a recent decree on fair wages, labor protection, and union representation.
While the focus has shifted from the contentious “minimum wage” debate to a broader “fair wage” concept rooted in Article 36 of the Italian Constitution, there are concerns that these commitments may remain largely theoretical. Effective reform will depend on clear regulatory language and a deeper understanding of the social context to ensure fair and truly equitable labor practices.
