Strike or super bridge on 8 December?
The choice of public employment unions to strike on December 9 is arousing perplexity and controversy: the "first useful date" according to the secretary of the CISL, Furlan. All the details
“The strike serves to convince the employer, in this case the State, to renew the contract, exactly as we did in the private sector for food and metal workers. We are talking about the right to a contract, which has expired for two years ", said in an interview to Corriere della Sera the secretary of the CISL, Annamaria Furlan, in view of a work stoppage of public employees that is viewed with concern at a time like this. , in full pandemic. Furlan then explains the reasons for the fighting action: "The government has allocated only 400 million with the 2021 maneuver. But in this way we would have a contract lower than the previous one", especially since "the last contract was renewed with 8 years of delay".
Furlan disputes the fact that "one day we cannot call public employees 'heroes' who are working non-stop and in risky situations and the next day forget about them" and it is "unacceptable to define a public worker as ambushed", says the secretary of the CISL , which states: “We had asked for an agreement on smart working, instead the government left everything in the hands of the managers. With the renewal of the contracts, the matter will be regulated. There is not only a theme of controls, but also of protections and rights, starting from those of disconnection, training and instrumentation. It is a question of accompanying a real revolution, breaking out of commonplaces and addressing the issue in a serious way ".
The point, according to the CISL secretary, is that "600 million are missing" and "I hope – he underlines – that the premier will convene us. We also asked for these resources to support the process of digitization and modernization of the public administration, starting with healthcare which in the last ten years has suffered cuts of 38 billion ”.
Finally, a question from the Corriere della Sera journalist on the "super bridge" of 8 December to which Furlan replies as follows:
You have called a public employment strike for December 9, so we can make a good bridge.
Furlan, CISL secretary: «It is a pretext to say so. There is the law on essential public services to be respected. The first useful date was that ».
The earliest possible date, ahahahahahah
