Renzi confirms wage cap for all public-sector managers
Move part of cost-cutting measures for leaner state
08 April, 16:47 (ANSA) - Rome, April 8 - Premier Matteo Renzi on Tuesday
confirmed his intention of capping the salaries of all
public-sector managers as part of efforts to forge a leaner and
more efficient state.
"No manager will be able to exceed the salary cap and people
will just have to accept that there will be fewer official
cars," said Renzi of a separate move to sell off part of the
Italian state's executive fleet commonly known as 'auto blu'.
Earlier this year the 39-year-old premier announced plans
to cap managerial wages in the public sector at or below the
quarter of a million euros Italian President Giorgio Napolitano
gets.
Some of the fattest cats in Italy's bloated public sector earn three or four times what the head of State is paid.
