The data provided at the end of the day by Sulpl speak of “an average membership of over 50% of the cast iron workers operating in the area in the three shifts morning, afternoon and evening”. Participation percentages in the strike which make the secretary Daniele Vincini say: “These numbers, which go beyond our and USB’s expectations, demonstrate that the category has understood the reasons of the mobilization: we thank our colleagues who followed us”.
A mobilization started last autumn together with the other acronyms to oppose the Municipality’s attempt to modify the decentralized contract to have more patrols in the shifts considered most critical (evening and night). Then the front split: on one side, the confederals and the CSA, who in recent weeks signed a document with the administration which effectively sanctioned the freezing of the status quo at least until October; on the other, Sulpl and USB, who did not sign that agreement, deciding to continue with the season of unrest.
Yesterday’s (the second in the series after requisitions and postponements) took place in day of the two concerts in the San Siro area: Max Pezzali at the stadium e Tedua at the Hippodrome. The phases of public influx into the area were not affected by the partial reduction of cast iron in the street, also thanks to the contribution of law enforcement and metropolitan police crews; more complicated to manage the outflow at the end of the shows. In any case, Vincini says, “we will not stop: At the moment everything is blocked, but we will continue with the containment battle”.
The two acronyms they had already circled in red July 14thwhen the American star will perform at the Meazza for the second time in 48 hours Taylor Swift, but the strike of all the employees of the Municipality on July 19th changed the plans: due to the principle of rarefaction, two similar initiatives cannot be held so few days apart. Consequently, Sulpl and Usb will have to wait a few more weeks to set a new date, most likely between the second half of August and the beginning of September. That is, when the Serie A championship and international competitions resume.
