A nice way to do this Unforgettable April 25th the CGIL found it, choosing the symbolic date on which Liberation Day from the Nazi-fascists is celebrated to start the collection of signatures for the four referendum questions that aim to change the world of work.
And Liberation be. Because if they passed, these referendum they would cancel the Jobs Act and all the distortions it has introduced into the world of work over the last ten years. Insecurity, blackmail, lack of protection. When the CGIL fights for workplace safety, it should be kept in mind that the majority of deaths and injuries affect procurement workers, who are precarious, subject to blackmail, without adequate training, and are sometimes subject to unsustainable rhythms. Here is the political response, the concrete declination of that word, ‘unacceptable’, which is often the only thing left to say in the face of workplace massacres.
And then, if there is very little left to say, something needs to be done. AND these referendums are precisely the concrete act which gives depth to the strikes and demonstrations of the long ongoing mobilization and makes them concrete.
As concrete as the queues that have formed in all the squares of the country today. Before, during and after the marches and celebrations of the 79th anniversary of the Liberation from Nazi-Fascism. To say ‘Enough’, not only with words, but also with deeds. In this case with a simple signature, or rather four. Four quick gestures, which can be done even more quickly online, to restore dignity to work and workers’ rights.
Politics didn’t think about it for years. The CGIL took care of it, all of us, all those who need to work to live. Work well, with all the protections, rights and guarantees it demands Article 1 of our Constitutionwhen it makes Work the very foundation of our Republic.
