Rinaldini (centre-left): “Zattini council in total confusion over the management of children’s services in Forlì”

“In recent days, further proof has been given of the state of confusion in which the Zattini council, primarily councilor Casara, finds itself in the management of municipal children’s services. After the attempt to reduce the flexibility of afternoon hours and the about-face that the administration was forced into by protests from parents, after the purely superficial and untrue declarations on the acceptance of all applications for access to nursery schools – there are over 100 families on the waiting list – and after the ‘electoral’ reassurance phone calls sent to those same families, it took an initiative from CGIL, CISL and UIL to block the administration’s intention to break an agreement in in force for many years, according to which the paid hours for the participation of nursery and nursery school staff in trade union meetings, for a maximum of 12 per year, are recognized as overtime and carried out outside opening hours of schools so as not to burden the service to families”. Thus the centre-left mayoral candidate Graziano Rinaldini.

“The breaking of the agreement, confirmed only following a long negotiation, would have meant forcing the staff to participate in union meetings, with relative closure of services and obvious inconvenience for families. It is unfortunate to note that this self-referential attitude and lack of availability for dialogue has important repercussions on families and staff who have always been committed to ensuring the well-being of boys and girls and to supporting parents in the difficult task of reconciling life and work times. . As a further demonstration of the poor management of services, the protest of the parents of the Querzoli nursery school in recent hours has brought to light the situation of stalemate and inertia in which the administration has found itself for two years in the management of the school garden. the institute, despite the numerous requests received from families for the definition of collaboration agreements, never approved by the council, and for the implementation of safety interventions to protect the health and well-being of the children who attend the school” concludes the centre-left candidate.
