A-Infos (en) Italy, UCADI #167: What's new Salary cages (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The self-styled Minister of Education and Merit, of a Government that loves 
demerit, has done everything to emulate that of Culture with an apparent joke. 
---- After receiving the opinion of its premier on the fact that the aspiration 
of young people in possession of a professional qualification to carry out a job 
suited to their skills and above all paid with wages established by national 
employment contracts is an unacceptable claim and that therefore they have to 
adapt to more humble jobs, starting with those of tomato pickers for a few euros 
per box and perhaps mediated by a corporal who exploits their work, the honorable 
minister has given birth to his recipe for school reform: the reintroduction of 
cages salaries for teachers.
The Minister expresses his nostalgia for the past, re-proposing the salary 
systems of fifty years ago in a Lega sauce (differentiated autonomy) and proposes 
the hypothesis that the Regions could have differentiated incentive increases for 
their teachers. Here too we are dealing with an old idea of adapting the past to 
today.
On the other hand, Professor Valditara, a well-known historian - so to speak - is 
famous in the academic world for having argued that the cause of the fall of the 
Roman Empire was... his migration policy. And this, when everyone knows that the 
Romans were masters in progressively integrating other populations, as they did 
by creating an empire, while failing to say that it was Christianity, with its 
claim to belief in a single God, that undermined the religious pluralism which 
was one of the cornerstones of the Roman integration policy.
This peacock of culture recognizes that teachers in Italy, like the majority of 
workers, have the lowest salaries in Europe in terms of performance and 
professional skills and thinks he can remedy this by differentiating wages, 
instead of increasing wages for everyone in the name of the fact that in the 
poorest regions of the country the cost of living is minor and therefore for the 
same salary, those who live there earn more. But it fails to say that the cost of 
living is lower for some goods and certainly not for public services, both in 
quantity and quality provided by the State and local administrations while 
certainly the taxation on wages is the same.
The distinguished academic directs the law degree course of the European 
University of Rome, owned by the Legionaries of Christ, a well-known and 
acclaimed ultra-conservative congregation of pontifical law, led and founded by 
Marcial Marciel Degollado, in respect of which on 1 May 2010 the Holy See 
declared: «The very serious and objectively immoral behavior of Fr. Maciel, 
confirmed by incontrovertible testimonies, sometimes takes the form of real 
crimes and manifests a life without scruples and authentic religious sentiment» 
(pedophilia, repeated and continued). Until now, his greatest concern seemed to 
be that of the increase in public funding for private confessional schools (of 
all types and levels), certainly not known for the merit that characterizes his 
performances but now the Minister aspires to act on a wider scale helping to gain 
converts to differentiated autonomy and at the same time to condition wage 
policies in the world of work by putting on the plate the wage differentiation of 
at least a part of the million employees of increasingly less public education.
