The cabinet approved key parts of the so-called Jobs Act to ease firing restrictions, extend the duration of jobless benefits and introduce a new contract type offering compensation in case of dismissal that gradually increases with seniority. According to the trade unions the reforms will undermine a fundamental labour right by softening protections against unfair dismissal and encouraging employers to fire workers ‘with fewer rights for everyone’. The unions have also protested against the Stability Law, which introduces a package of public spending cuts that will hit the education and health care sectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fuk.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002F2014\u002F12\u002F24\u002Fuk-italy-economy-reform-idUKKBN0K215720141224\">http:\u002F\u002Fuk.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002F2014\u002F12\u002F24\u002Fuk-italy-economy-reform ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.equaltimes.org\u002Fitalian-workers-strike-against#.VJG623saCsZ\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.equaltimes.org\u002Fitalian-workers-strike-against ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ansa.it\u002Fenglish\u002Fnews\u002Fpolitics\u002F2014\u002F12\u002F23\u002Frenzi-govt-focuses-on-jobs-act-decrees_60eb48aa-89b3-4b35-bc28-5c58adc51449.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ansa.it\u002Fenglish\u002Fnews\u002Fpolitics\u002F2014\u002F12\u002F23\u002Frenzi-govt-focuses-on-jobs-act-decrees ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
