This paper aims to analyse the so-called “Dignity Decree”, the first legislative act of the new Italian government in the field of the labour law. In particular, it focuses on the changes introduced in the matter of temporary contracts and unlawful dismissal. Through a comparative study with the political choices of the previous governments, the article shows how the decree does not represent “the Waterloo of temporary employment”, nor does it constitute an overturn of the spirit of the “Jobs Act”.
