The National Conference of Editorial Committees and Trustees met in Rome at the headquarters of the National Press Federation and is ready - together with Fnsi and regional press associations - to act "forcefully for the real defense of employment contracts, because we can retreat on rights for a flexibility that companies largely want to decline as wild precariousness and employment blackmail."
