The mobilization of CGIL and UIL continues. Next Saturday, April 20, the two Confederations return to the streets of Rome for a national demonstration for health and safety in the workplace, for the defense and strengthening of public health, for tax reform and the protection of wages.
The procession, which is expected to gather at 9.30 am, will start from piazzale Ugo la Malfa at 10.30 am, and then parade along via del Circo Massimo, viale Aventino, piazza Albania, viale della Piramide Cestia, piazza di Porta San Paolo, and arrive in Piazzale Ostiense.
Workers will speak from the stage, leaving the floor for conclusions to the general secretaries of CGIL and UIL Maurizio Landini and PierPaolo Bombardieri.
FOR EVERYONE’S HEALTH WE INVEST IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE
For the protection of the right to health, for a National Health Service and a public and universal socio-health system, economic, human and organizational resources are necessary. NHS funding needs to be increased, both in absolute terms and in relation to GDP.
To implement an extraordinary multi-year hiring plan. Overcome the limits on personnel spending, make training in healthcare professions attractive and increase the resources allocated to the renewal of the 2022/2024 national collective labor agreements for healthcare.
To relaunch and readjust the hospital network to promote accessibility, safety and quality, starting from the emergency network and the emergency rooms.
To overcome the unacceptable waiting times that deny the right to health, encourage the use of private services, erode salaries and pensions to the point of renouncing treatment.
To overcome the gaps and inequalities between regions and territories, passive mobility and guarantee the right to treatment in the area in which you live.
For the development of local assistance by creating a widespread network of social and health services. Make publicly managed Districts, Homes and Community Hospitals operational, strengthen the network of public clinics and the full implementation of Law 194/1978, invest in mental health.
To support non-self-sufficient elderly people, the reform envisaged by Delegating Law 33/2023, Law 227/21 on disability must be improved and implemented, with the necessary resources from general taxation for adequate active aging policies, support for independent living, home care, intervening on the delays of mission 5 and 6 of the PNRR and the implementation of Ministerial Decree/77
ZERO DEATHS AT WORK
It is necessary to establish the qualification system for all companies, both public and private, based on compliance with health and safety regulations and on the regular application of the collective labor agreements of the trade unions. comparatively more representative on a national level. Anyone who does not comply with these requirements must be prohibited from granting financing or incentives with public funds
The points-based licence, not a light credit-based licence, must be a clear instrument of sanction and prohibition from the activities and access to public and private contracts of all incorrect companies operating in any sector.
Never go to work without adequate education and training, provided by accredited and certified bodies, which must take into account the linguistic understanding ability of the recipients of the courses.
Full implementation must be given to the permanent coordination between the National Labor Inspectorate (INL) and the Local Health Authorities (ASL), improving the quality, quantity and frequency of inspections, also through an increase in the resources to be allocated and the personnel inspection.
FOR A FAIR TAX REFORM
The tax we want draws on where the resources are to finance healthcare, education, non-self-sufficiency, social rights and public investments and enhances those who produce wealth
The Government’s “tax reform” continues to tax work and pensions more than profits, financial and real estate income, and wealthy self-employment; it does not tax extra profits and rewards tax evasion, which subtracts 90 billion euros every year from the country’s social and development policies.
Enough with the amnesties, with the amnesties, with the agreements, with the bonuses to sectors that continue not to pay up to 70% of the taxes due.
Deductions for work and pensions must be indexed to inflation; no flat tax, but a progressive tax on all personal income.
WAGES
Wages, which decreased in Italy and increased in Europe, caused by precariousness, work discontinuity, involuntary part time, very long times for contract renewals, were further eroded by inflation from growth in profits. What to do is clear:
Strengthen sectoral collective bargaining, guarantee the renewal of contracts at natural deadlines; abolish precariousness.
Reduce working hours for equal pay, also in connection with training as an individual right.
Promote actions for real equality and to overcome the wage gap between women and men.
Guarantee organizational participation and involvement of workers and their consent to the changes that companies face.
Implement interconfederal agreements on union representation and the election of unitary union representatives in each workplace.
