Back Pain Characteristics in Physical and Office Workers

2018

The aim of our study was to characterize back pain according to the occupation comprising physical  and office work. Accordingly questionnaires from 100 physical workers (PW) and 100 office workers (OW) were collected.  This dedicated questionnaire included 19 questions, of which 7 concerned demographic, work and stature features and 12 concerned back pain.  Collected data showed that lower back pain was more common in PW but cervical pain in OW (p0.001). Most common aetiology of back pain was spinal osteoarthritis, sciatica and scoliosis but of different spread in two groups (p0.001). The history of back pain was most often above 5 years and there were significant differences in frequency,…

MANSIONI E DEROGABILITÁ INDIVIDUALE ASSISTITA

2018

Il saggio analizza l'istituto della derogabilità individuale assistita delle mansioni per come configurato dal d.lgs. 81/2015: tale norma, nel consentire accordi tra lavoratore e datore modificativi di mansioni, retribuzione, livello di inquadramento e categoria legale, depone a favore di una marcata liberalizzazione dell’oggetto del contratto di lavoro. I limiti dettati dalla legge – la stipula innanzi a delle sedi protette e il ricorrere di generiche finalità – contribuiscono a creare uno scenario "fluido" di tutela del lavoratore quale contraente debole, non soltanto all'atto della sottoscrizione del patto, ma anche in sede processuale. The essay focuses on the mechanism of the individua…

2019

Il saggio analizza le recenti misure di riduzione del costo del lavoro nel pubblico impiego italiano alla luce della degli orientamenti della giurisprudenza al riguardo. La crisi economica è un fattore sempre presente nelle argomentazioni dei giudici. Aumenta il tasso di litigiosità e il potere giudiziario deve valutare la legittimità del-le scelte della pubblica amministrazione e la reazione giudiziaria dei lavoratori pubblici nel tentativo di recuperare, in tutto o in parte, le quote di retribuzione perdute (o non adeguate nel corso del tempo).

Difetto del nesso causale e manifesta insussistenza del fatto nel licenziamento per giustificato motivo oggettivo

2021

Con la sentenza n. 16253/2020 la Suprema Corte ha affermato che l’assenza di nesso causale tra la cessazione di un appalto e il licenziamento del lavoratore integra un’ipotesi di manifesta insussistenza del fatto posto alla base del licenziamento - con conseguente applicabilità della tutela reintegratoria attenuta di cui all’art. 18, comma 5, della legge n. 300/1970 - non riconducibile, pertanto, agli altri casi in cui il giudice dichiara risolto il rapporto concedendo la sola tutela indennitaria forte (da dodici a ventiquattro mensilità).

Settore IUS/07 - Diritto Del LavoroWith judgement no. 16253/2020 theSupremeCourt affirmed that the absence of causal linkbetween the termination of a contract and the dismissal of the worker integrates a hypothesis of manifest nonexistence of the fact at the basis of the dismissal with consequent applicability of the reinstatement protection afforded by art. 18 paragraph 5 of law no. 300/1970 and therefore does not fall within the other cases in which the judge declares the relationship terminated by granting an indemnity protection from twelve to twenty-four months salary.

Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro

2020

Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…

Settore IUS/17 - Diritto PenaleThe paper analyses the offence of unlawful work intermediation and exploitation offering a comparative analysis with the German punitive system. The study focuses in particular on the limits of legitimacy of criminal law in the punishment of gangmaster acts in the attempt to avoid that the punitive intervention in economic and contractual dynamics of a mutual nature could be so intrusive to be in contrast with the principle of subsidiarity. To this end the author suggests an interpretative perspective that centres the penal disvalue of the offence under article 603-bis of the criminal code on the harm to fundamental workers’ rights – as linked to articles 4 35 and 36 of the Italian Constitutions – which work as a limit to entrepreneurial freedom. To be sure the indexes of exploitation listed by the criminalising norm seem to echo those fundamental human rights attributed to a person as a worker: those very same rights that – when harmed in their minimal and therefore intangible dimension – legitimise the intervention of the ius terribile. The article also stresses the protection of the job market: in this sense the offence – even if situated within the Kernstrafrecht – represents a new paradigm of the institutional response within the framework of the contemporary relationships between law and economics.

Vulnerability to Forced Labour and Trafficking: The case of Romanian women in the agricultural sector in Sicily

2015

This paper focuses on labour and sexual exploitation faced by Romanian female workers employed in the agricultural sector in Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2013 and 2014 with Romanian female farm workers in Ragusa, the paper identifies factors that contribute towards their vulnerability to exploitation. By paying specific attention to the experiences of women who are mothers with dependent children, we look at structural factors that increase their vulnerability and consider how this vulnerability ‘forces’ women into situations whereby they effectively accept and/or submit to abuse. We also highlight how European Union (EU) citizenship does not automatically protec…

The relation between socio-relational self-efficacy and work engagement in an Italian sample of social workers

2008

This study examined how much in social workers the confidence about perceived socio-relational competencies is related to work engagement. We used a questionnaire delevoped to assess the socio- relational self-efficacy (according to the Bandura’s theory), and the UWES (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003), a measure of work engagement, defined as a positive, fulfilling work-related state of mind. Subjects were interviewed in therapeutic commu- nities (for drug addicts, for abused women etc.) or family communities. It was found that some aspects of relational competence (like to feel able to understand others’ feelings) are strongly related to work engagement.

Using the QEEW to evaluate the organizational climate in Italian work contexts

2011

Our research work aims to evaluate the possible use of the questionnaire on the experience and evaluation of work (QEEW; van Veldhoven & Meijman, 1994) in Italian work contexts. The QEEW was modeled to evaluate a) job demands and job resources, to collect relevant information on the amount of exposure to environmental and psychological job characteristics; b) outcome measures, such as job enjoyment and need for recovery. The QEEW is wide used in north Europe to test a theoretical model useful to understand the workers wellbeing (the job demands-resources model, Bakker, van Veldhoven and Xanthopoulou, 2010). The research was conducted in 3 different work contexts (public hospital, public…
