The CGIL is preparing for an extraordinary mobilization to support four referendums, the questions of which have been lodged with the Supreme Court. An extraordinary general meeting has also been called in Ragusa.
The opportunity was used to talk about problems linked to the territory: from contracts, to precarious work, to public health, to employment. The works were opened by Peppe Scifo, general secretary of the CGIL of Ragusa and concluded by Alfio Mannino, general secretary of CGIL Sicilia.
The next commitment is the mobilization for the collection of signatures (in the province of Ragusa there must be eight thousand certified) and at a national level four million. Italians should be called to the polls between May and June 2025.
The first two referendums concern dismissals: one is on overcoming the “increasing protection” contract and the other on compensation for small businesses. In practice the abolition of the “Jobs Act”. The third, on the reintroduction of reasons for fixed-term contracts. The fourth on procurement and the client’s responsibility for accidents at work.
Peppe Scifo started from an overall analysis of the country where wealth is in the hands of a few and is poorly distributed (Italy is among the last countries in Europe). 2 percent of GDP is transferred to NATO to support the war and armaments. Stop the union’s opposition to this choice, because it takes away resources from essential services for the citizen. The CGIL of Ragusa which has 40 thousand members will mobilize to reach the goal of 8 thousand signatures.
On a vertical level, the state of crisis in public health could not be overlooked, with resources in favor of private health, with doctors fleeing, with family doctors who are not there and managers who are appointed on the indications of a balance sheet that represents the forces of the political parties. government of the Region.
What about the theft of resources for the construction of the Modica Scicli lot of the Syracuse-Gela motorway where insufficient funds were removed instead of being increased.
“The CGIL, comments Alfio Mannino, wants to put quality work at the center through referendums, to deliver a new idea of the country system.
We must take back the need for a redemption of Sicily and Southern Italy where resources are being taken away, in favor of the Messina Bridge, if it ever happens, which covered essential services such as schools and public health. The differentiated autonomy will then cause Sicily to lose one billion six hundred thousand euros of resources every year.”
CGIL and UIL, meanwhile, will be at the national demonstration in Rome on Saturday 20 April: health and safety, right to healthcare and public healthcare, tax reform and wage protection.
On 20 April and 25 May national demonstrations in Rome and Naples.
