“When in the not too distant 2020 we raised the alarm about the senselessness of starting an unscrupulous series of commercial activities in such an exaggerated number for a city, let alone for a street like Via Bertini, we were dribbled like anti-progressive owls who preferred the stone age to the evolution of what was sponsored as the absolute advantage of competition, an advantage in favor of the consumer citizen and also of the worker who would thus have new employment opportunities on which he could count”. This is the position taken by the NoMegastore committee of Forlì. “The deputy mayor reassured us, no closures in recent years, so what do you want to worry about? This is what we have always been worried about: what is now happening at the Crai in via Balzella, a new intended use which will further lower the bar of quality of the products marketed and which above all will abandon workers who are no longer suited to these new commercial guises, leaving them at the mercy of a market which certainly does not have as its objective that of worker protection”.
“After having maintained an active demonstration in front of the supermarket since last Tuesday, those workers and their close unions will move it to Piazza Morgagni on Monday 29 April at 9am having been summoned to the Province for the opening of a very important institutional table in which we hope the fate of these fellow citizens of ours is resolved in a favorable manner – explains the committee – we ask the administration in the figure of Mayor Zattini and deputy mayor Mezzacapo to intervene and stand alongside, to act this time to promote the common good”.
“It was wrong not to reverse course when it was still possible to do so and these are the results. How does the Deputy Mayor, who is so optimistic about those new jobs, feel about these workers? May 1st is near and on Monday we at NoMegastore will bring our solidarity again because work is a right and closeness to those who risk losing it due to reckless choices is a duty”.
