(Finance) – A step backwards for the unions who have decided to reduce transport costs strike on Friday from 8 to 4 hours, from 9 to 13, after the order received from the Ministry of Transport. The announcement came from the general secretary of the CGIL, Maurice Landiniin a press conference with the general secretary of Uil, Pierpaolo Bombers. “There is one more reason to confirm the mobilizations and strikes. At the same time, since we are responsible people and we deal” with the precept“we take note of this and the strike in the transport sector will be from 9am to 1pm”, said Landini, so “we protect the workers”, otherwise exposed to “economic and criminal sanctions”.
“We have no intention of stopping”, however, added the trade unionist: “tax reform, pension reform, healthcare, wages and contract renewal. Ours is not a mobilization simply say protest, but supports a process of transformation of the country. It’s time to take to the streets: the majority of this country, of the people who keep the country afloat by paying taxes, have the right to be heard.”
“Don’t scare us. If you think you are scaring us, you are wrong, you will get the opposite effect”, declared the general secretary of the Uil, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, referring to the government and the precept signed by the deputy prime minister and minister Matteo Salvini. “I don’t know if the government is against the labor unions – he added in response to a question -. I estimate that we cannot find answers to the issues raised in what the government does.” “Le reasons of the precept in our opinion are without foundation. We are checking whether the conditions exist and whether we will consider it appropriate challenge The text“, said the general secretary of Uil.
The Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini expressed “satisfaction” with the reduction of the transport strike from 8 to 4 hours announced by the unions after the injunction. “Common sense, workers and citizens have won. The right to strike is not being questioned,” she said in a statement.
The Prime Minister also spoke on the issue, Georgie Melons, ensuring that “it is not the government’s intention to change the legislation on the right to strike”. Upon leaving the visit to the exhibition on Tolkien, Meloni explained that the injunction “was an absolutely shared decision” in the government “but on the basis of the indication received from an independent authority, not on the basis of a political choice but of a choice of mediation between two rights which must both be guaranteed and for which there is an independent authority”.
