The immediate adhesion to the initiative of the CGIL of L’Aquila demonstrates that this year’s theme is more relevant than ever and requires an urgent solution that involves all those who are actively engaged in the world of work. “And for this reason” the organizers conclude “that the CGIL of L’Aquila decided to invite to the event the entrepreneur Elisabetta Franchi, for whom we have officially reserved a place, considering the recent events that have affected your company. We hope that you will agree to participate and discuss after your company’s conviction for discriminatory behavior, a conviction that you have been forced to develop and adopt an innovative corporate training plan for all staff, aimed at eliminating gender prejudices that have always been linked to the female universe”. Work-life balance constitutes a topic hitherto linked exclusively to the female world. Today, however, the issue is transversal and affects the entire community: raising awareness on this point cannot be postponed any further.
