The Labour Charter of 1927

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Charter of Labour of 1927 was just one of the mainly legislations Mussolini, the Italian Fascist dictator 1922-43, introduced in his attempts to modernise the Italian economy. The Charter declared private enterprise to be the most efficient, thus helping Mussolini to confirm the support of the rich industrialists who were the initial backers of Fascism. The Charter not only assisted the situation of the rich in Italian society, but also helped the workers by confirming their rights. So, as we can see, this legislation was more about Mussolini keeping his own personal power than improving the lives of the people of Italy because, in its effects, it was practically useless.
