Fixed place farewell and escape from public competitions? It happens in the North - as the Minister of Infrastructure Enrico Giovannini recently denounced - on the contrary in Sardinia the questions for the next selections are an avalanche. For 60 seats in the Regional Council - various professional profiles - there are as many as 26,377 candidates; for the call of 78 agents of the Forestry Corps, the participants were 12,347. While the Laore and Aspal rankings are still to be absorbed, with over a thousand eligible who, if and when they are contracted, will toast with champagne.
The goal
Giovannini said in a hearing to the Transport Commission of the Chamber that "recent recruitments for motorizations and administrations have been partially deserted, of the 320 administration officials put in the competition, a substantial portion has given up avoiding taking up service unless a location is indicated to the south". And the same thing - he added - "we fear it will happen for the first competition for engineers". The fact is - mainly - that wages are not considered attractive where the cost of living is very high.
The situation is different here. "The general crisis and the spread of atypical and seasonal contracts, which do not ensure a constant and adequate income at the cost of living, push the Sardinians towards the search for a permanent job: a goal that is still coveted especially if the offer comes from the Public Administration" , underlines the general secretary of the regional CGIL Samuele Piddiu. "If it is true that recent national surveys have highlighted the gap between public and private salaries to the advantage of the latter and the dissatisfaction of public sector workers, this mainly concerns the North where the labor market is still dynamic while here in Sardinia it is structurally weak and in addition the average annual wages are even lower than the Italian one. It is evident that in these conditions the prospect of stability guaranteed by the public post becomes attractive ”.
A coveted place
The Regional Council for the recruitment of 12 council referendums received 2,521 applications, for 15 usher posts as many as 7,694 requests. Now, if the latter is the most popular role but obviously with the lowest salary, the basic gross annual salary of a referendum exceeds 42 thousand euros. "There is the race to the Palazzo in via Roma because it is one of the most prestigious institutional places to work", explains the regional councilor of the Pd Piero Comandini. "Both from an economic point of view, because here the salaries have always been higher even than those of colleagues in the Region, and also for the quality: whether you are a clerk or a referendum, you are directly at contact with legislative activity ".
