“Michelangelo Mazzola has left us. The memory of his passionate and loyal union service will remain forever, guaranteed to workers even when his physical strength was abandoning him.” Thus the general secretary of Uil Sicily, Luisella Lionti, and the regional Uil secretary with delegation for the Caltanissetta area, Salvatore Guttilla, remember Michelangelo Mazzola, secretary of the UilTucs of Caltanissetta-Enna-Agrigento died today after a long illness. The union representatives add: “To Anna, wife of Michelangelo Mazzola, and to her children Giulia and Giuseppe we want to express the pain of the Nissena and Sicilian Uil for their mourning which is also ours. Let them be proud of what Michelangelo did. He gave substance and depth to what for all of us is not just a slogan: being a People’s Union”. Luisella Lionti and Salvatore Guttilla conclude: “Condolences also to the UilTucs family who, under the guidance of the national secretary Marianna Flauto and the Sicilian general secretary Ida Saja, fought significant battles together with Michelangelo Mazzola claiming the right to respect, dignity, to safety and contractual guarantees for workers in Commerce, Services and Tourism. We would like to mention, among other things, the courageous and tenacious legality campaigns conducted by Michelangelo Mazzola and UilTucs alongside the employees of large-scale retail trade in Nisseno and the “invisibles” of school canteens in the capital. Hello, Michelangelo. It was exciting to have you among us, it will be nice to carry on your trade union mission.” THE funeralMichelangelo Mazzola’s works will be celebrated on Monday at 3.30 pm in the Cathedral of Caltanissetta.
