Improvements in the domain of the pension system have been at the centre of several attacks, debates, reform and counter reform projects and cutback tryouts for more than a decade.Attention to this themes is crucial, due to the particularly weak position and low bargaining power of those who have already left the labour market.The fact that pensions represent an important part of social expenditure is a further point of attention.
CGIL promoted as early as 1945 an institute for assistance in social contribution and pension matters: INCA CGIL, in order to protect workers’ rights and contribute to the reform of social and social security laws.
Since 1947 INCA is ruled under a law that defined the role, tasks and modes of functioning of such institutions ("patronati").The action of the "patronato" anticipated a system of rights and improved the conditions of workers. Inca CGIL is the most important Italian institution of this kind in terms of activity and organisation.
Inca CGIL provides free of charge assistance to anyone asking for support.According to the law, as for legal actions the user is asked to contribute to expenses.The Ministry of Labour is responsible for monitoring the activity of Inca as of other similar institutions.
Inca CGIL, having developed in the past 50 years a recognised expertise through the qualification and constant training of its employees in the domain of social security, is today an important reference point for private and public bodies in need of training.
Inca CGIL, thanks to its specialised publications, which have been hosting an interesting debates and deep analysis, has contributed to the production of a welfare state culture in our country.
Inca CGIL has produced software for managing its activities and more recently guides and hypertexts and multimedia tools on relevant themes in the social security domain, becoming an outstanding user of new technologies.
