TRIESTE – The report comes from the Uil Scuola of Friuli Venezia Giulia: “One of our members in Gorizia, a part-time substitute teacher, divorced with a dependent daughter, saw a net salary of 1 euro arrive in her October paycheck. After deducting taxes and contributions, the precarious teacher’s salary was hit by a tax adjustment that ate up her entire salary”.

And according to the regional secretary of the Uil Scuola, Ugo Previti, it would not even be an isolated case among the 2,500 substitute teachers in Friuli Venezia Giulia, “yet another attack on temporary teachers, the most fragile part of the school workforce – he explains – who often see their salaries suspended due to ministerial budget ‘tricks’, even for months, despite regularly serving in the classroom”, denounces the unionist.

From the examination of the pay slip, continues the secretary Uil Scuola, “the adjustment apparently is the result of a calculation on the 730, but now the Revenue Agency must explain to us how it thinks a family can live if they suddenly lose their entire salary for a month. The banks at least have the foresight to ask for the ‘cession of the fifth’ precisely so as not to strangle the citizen. How is it possible – concludes Previti – that the State is instead so careless, among other things, towards one of its own employees?”.
