Schlein in Bologna: “Wicked government choices. After hearing Conte, convergence on battles”

Over 30,000 took to the streets today in Bologna for the first mobilization of the CGIL, CISL and UIL with which to obtain a change in labour, tax and social security policies. The speaker of the event from the stage provided the number. A full square, in short, where among the workers there is the Democratic Party and its secretary Elly Schlein who attacks the government: «A decree that behind a cut of the wedge that is not sufficient and temporary, hides rules that increase precariousness and who say that the causes of fixed-term contracts can be established in the comparison between the parties as if the parties had the same power because one party who is able to give work and another who needs work to eat». “Making these choices means making workers much more susceptible to blackmail, among young people there is fear of the future because if you have such precarious contracts it is difficult to build a future and a family for this reason we insist that the issue of the birth crisis is very linked to precariousness. If you want to reverse the trend, the choice of the government is the most wrong in the most wicked direction for the country. We as Pd choose to be at the side of this mobilization and carry on these battles in Parliament and in the country. We are fighting a lot for the minimum wage and on the protections of the new digital work ». With Giuseppe Conte «we spoke yesterday too, let’s say that agendas don’t always cross, but I am convinced that on these battles there is a convergence with him and with the 5 Star Movement on the claims that are brought to the squares. We will continue to meet on other occasions as well». The secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, said it on the sidelines of the union demonstration against the work decree, in Bologna.
