“Empty hotels and restaurants on the first day of the super green pass. There is no shortage of only the unvaccinated, there is no shortage of tourists and many families are stuck at home between isolation and quarantines “. Thus in a note Tni Italia which estimates that” on average, from today the hospitality and catering companies will lose a new slice of their turnover: uAn additional -20 percent which adds up to the -40 percent lost since Christmas“.
“We are, in fact, facing a new lockdown and without aid, companies will begin to close and layoffs will fall. Only our associates have declared 10 thousand redundancies. We are in economic disaster. For this – Raffaele Madeo, president of Tni Italia announces – we will return. with a delegation in Rome, for a garrison “, Wednesday starting at 12, in Piazza dei Santi Apostoli.
For Madeo “the Government must intervene with urgent measures.
We will bring the 10,000 layoffs to the streets. For us, unionizing also means stopping every deputy and senator to explain the problems of our businesses to them. And that’s what we will do. “The priorities for Tni Italia are three: Covid layoffs, tax credit for those entrepreneurs who have rented premises and a moratorium on loans.
Given the high number of infections – explains Tni -, other cities are also organizing to organize local events “, in the meantime, before leaving for Rome,” at 8.30, a delegation of Florentine restaurateurs will deliver the cardboard boxes containing the letters of dismissal to the mayor Dario Nardella “:” Given the extension of the state of emergency to March 31 – points out Madeo – we expected from our mayor, as happened in other cities, that the outdoor spaces for the tables would also be extended “.
“In the cities of art and in particular in the historic centers, the situation has returned to a great crisis. Only nIn 2020, 20,000 companies in Italy closed among public establishments in Italy and in 2021 we estimate as many. There are no tourists, the return of smart working impacts and the businesses close. And to this must be added the temporary closures due to Covid or quarantines “. This was told to ANSA by the director general of Fipe Roberto Calugi, who complains about tens of thousands of places at risk.”Catering companies, restaurants in airports and stations, canteens not to mention discos and arcades are skipped – says Fipe -. We are asking the government at least for the extension of the Cig Covid. The ban on layoffs expired on January 1, but if you can’t keep the companies on their feet you are forced to lay off tens of thousands of people. “On the catering front, according to Calugi, the sector goes at two speeds,” the neighborhood restaurants , for example, they keep better, in the historic centers of the cities of art there is great suffering “.
Problems also in the capital where according to Fiepet Confesercenti “Over two thousand companies have had to reduce their working hours due to quarantines and covid cases that have affected workers and some entrepreneurs. This is about 15% of public businesses. We estimate 4%, 600, had to close temporarily for the same reasons “. Claudio Pica, the president of Fiepet Confesercenti in Rome, told ANSA.” In the last 20 days, there has also been a significant drop in consumption, for example of the simple cup of coffee, with 30% less consumption than the average. This is due to a mix of factors, from the fear of entering the premises to the increase in smart working up to infections “.
