Cgil Calabria will be present with its categories and, in particular, with Flai Cgil Calabria at the demonstration called by the national Cgil against the gangmaster system and exploitation in the fields that will be held in Latina on Saturday 6 July.
What happened to Satnam Singh is the tip of the iceberg of a system of enslavement and abuse of need that is still too present in our country. Calabria is not immune, indeed, with 19.6 percent of undeclared workers in relation to the total number of employed and compared to the national average of 11.3%, it is the Italian region with the highest presence of irregular employment (117,400 units) in the South. The Piana di Gioia Tauro, the study by Cgia di Mestre states, is one of the Italian areas where gangmastering is most widespread.
Together with the dozens of associations that have joined the protest, we will demonstrate to forcefully demand, without ifs or buts, rights, dignity, health and safety at work. We ask the government to take firm positions that contribute in practice to combat exploitation, gangmastering and inhumane conditions, by canceling those laws that fuel clandestinity, starting with the Bossi Fini law, in which people are forced to work in the agricultural sector and by enforcing those already existing ones that can have an impact on reducing the phenomenon.
