Flows Decree
There will be a
total amount of 17 thousand seasonal workers who will be employed on
fixed-term contracts in the sectors of agriculture and tourism-hotel.
2017 began with the new parts communicated by the Ministries of Interior and Labour for foreign seasonal workers who will reach Italy from abroad to be used for a few months in the companies of agricultural sector and tourism-hotel: there are 17,000 totally those authorized by the flows decree which also includes allowances allocated to non-seasonal inputs as well as conversions of residence permits.

But it is not announced the substantial new about regarding the countries of origin of the workers as it is awaiting the confirmation of those already included in the decrees of recent years (flow decree 2016) and then the borders will open for incoming workers from Morocco and Mauritius , Pakistan, Senegal, Serbia, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ghana, Japan, India, Kosovo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Macedonia, Gambia, Moldova, Montenegro, South Korea, Ivory Coast, Philippines, Niger, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Ukraine and Tunisia. flow degree 2017.
Surely,
however, in the recent past they have changed some rules pertaining
to the entry and residence of seasonal workers. In particular they
have been specified with a law the sectors of employment and have
also been simplified the multi-annual inputs of workers already
arrived earlier in our country, while introducing more stringent
rules on accommodation and against the companies that make them
arrive in Italy but not hire them.
A further explanation was provided to the portal Stranieriinitalia by Romano Magrini, in charge of labor policies of Coldiretti. "The seasonal flows - has commented - can not be used for those who are already here without residence permits or enforced to workers in sectors other than agriculture or tourism.
The goal is to prevent 'false questions' that still have no hope of being accepted, but that engulf the procedure to the detriment of the true seasonal workers and the companies that need it urgently, for example because they start harvesting campaigns. "
The labor unions are absolutely in favor of the fact that in specific fields such as agriculture and tourism and hotel industry the number of employees is also implemented with seasonal foreign nationals because for many of them it is not the first time and therefore have already created a relationship of trust with the companies.
And even if they arrive from distant countries, the traveling cost will be amortized by the Italian salary that is far higher than that they could earn in their country.
The point which, however, the labor unions insist on is to pass the job applications only through them, so it can be created a real filter against lawlessness, although until now it has never happened.
