Landini: “The situation is not tolerable, we need to rebel”. And he opens the general strike

The general strike “doesn’t solve all the problems” but Maurizio Landini “excludes nothing”. A situation “of this kind” is “no longer tolerable, it must be changed” and we must “rebel” says the leader of the CGIL, and the reference is to the difficulties of those who work in the health sector or those of young precarious workers. «This government – accuses Landini on “Mezz’ora in più” on Raitre – does not recognize the union’s role as a subject with whom to negotiate and find a mediation. He has a majority in Parliament but does not have a majority in the country, and he plans to use this majority given to him by an electoral system to change the tax system, health care, even the Constitution ».

Landini explains that his “task is not to unite the left but to unite the world of work and give young people a perspective. We are not stopping, and I also say this in terms of mobilisation. We think that yesterday’s demonstration for health is the beginning of a mobilization that will increase. In the autumn there will be days of mobilization of all trade unions in Europe». In the crosshairs is a government which, he explains, “has not yet put a euro into the renewal of public employment contracts”.
