You communicate what, in a statement unitary Flai, Make and Uila national, pointing out that at the time the data is provisional and will be final only at the end of work shifts today.
“It is a result extraordinary – yet declare the three initials – which shows, without any doubt, the importance of the national contract and sharing by workers of the points contained in our platform. We ask to renew a contract, starting from the right. We want, for example, that all workers in the same production site have the same rights and same protection, starting with safety. In addition, we want full enforceability and scope of local agreements, which can not happen to the conditions imposed by Federalimentare namely to ‘invariance of business costs’. We ask that the contract remains national authorities wage, and this means recognizing an increase in wages for workers in the sector, that truly responds to their needs and that is not offset by the cancellation of seniority or premium production frozen. We want that the costs of the crisis are not paid again by the workers, after the corporate world has already had much in the way of relief, subsidies and incentives from the government. “

” The result of today – to complete the trade unions CGIL, CISL and UIL – encourages us to continue the mobilization, together with all the workers and workers in the industry, up to eight hours of national strike already scheduled for January 29. It would be appropriate Federalimentare reflect on this clear position of the workers, rather than continue to not address the open issues, seeking escape routes ineffective, for that matter – as confirmed by the data on the strike – such as that of trying to explain directly to the the workers ‘his word’, following a trend in vogue and in other contexts. “
