Inpgi is engaged in its most important phase of transformation, after the transfer of the main management to Inps, and as a union we are convinced of the importance of an institute that is increasingly closer to local realities, for more punctual, rapid and closer services to the needs of members. Let’s not forget, for example, the health protection project that offers freelancers three years of membership to Casagit with the support of Inpgi, a project that has increased in recent months”.

“A clear change of pace in the management of the Italian National Social Security Institute “Giovanni Amendola to secure the contributions paid by the many freelancers and collaborators, and avoid mistakes made in the past”, the representatives of Inpgi@Futuro had declared in recent days .
“These elections are very important for the future of a social security fund that will represent self-employed journalists for the first time. They are the first of the new course of the Via Nizza Institute, after the separation from the main management, transferred to the INPS. The next Board of Directors will have the delicate task of carefully protecting and administering the payments of the many freelance colleagues, VAT numbers and occasional collaborators. Among our objectives is to broaden social protection to the multifaceted field of welfare, expanding the pure social security sphere of the Inpgi social security funds to the welfare sphere and the implementation of the Iscro. It is necessary to strengthen protections. And to do this we need more efficient services for members.”
