Craftsmanship, Orsini: "Trade associations should not defend their own interests at the expense of workers and businesses"

The President of Confindustria emphasizes the need for fair competition and worker protection in the artisanal sector. He argues against misusing legal definitions for economic advantages that distort the true nature of artisanal enterprises. The potential negative impacts include unfair labor conditions and contributions, discouraging growth among investing companies. He calls for a serious reflection on the funding mechanisms of artisan associations and insists that the growth of associations should not overshadow the growth of Italian businesses. He highlights the importance of artisanal skills in high-quality industrial products and defends the right of companies to showcase their artisanal processes. Confindustria seeks constructive dialogue with the government to support economic growth and urges artisan associations to take responsibility for their actions.
