“Our May Day is dedicated to peace because there are too many theaters of war around us, to social justice because only by promoting gender equality and the rights of everyone, including migrants, can we stop the barbarization of society and of course to work given that it is Workers’ Day, a job that is still too often precarious, poorly paid and insecure”, the unions say.
“This year, we at CGIL want to celebrate May 1st by launching a challenge, that of referendums: four questions to overcome the Jobs Act and guarantee greater safety in subcontracting”, adds the general secretary of CGIL Bat, Michele Valente. “Among the main points of our campaign are the cancellation of the rules on illegitimate dismissals, the regulation of fixed-term contracts and safer work if it is true, as it is true that in Puglia in 2023 there were 78 fatal accidents at work, fourth region in Italy in terms of incidence compared to the number of employed. A truly sad and unacceptable record, to which we cannot resign ourselves.”
