Scrima: “Indifferent government. All categories of public services converge on mobilization for contracts and welfare”
“On December 1st, public service workers will cross their arms, giving continuity to the mobilization and demonstration of November 8th”. The decision was announced by Francesco Scrima, coordinator of the Cisl Lavoro pubblico categories, who confirms “the request to the Cgil and Uil federations to converge on the date for an action that represents the natural continuation of the unitary action implemented so far”.
The strike, proclaimed for the whole day of Monday 1st December, will involve both public sector workers and private sector workers who work for public services: “We will take to the streets against the indifference of the national, regional and local governments to sacrosanct demands that concern workers and citizens: renewal of employment contracts, relaunch of integrative bargaining, reorganization of administrations, of state bodies, true innovation in schools and public services, certainties for precarious workers and an end to contractual dumping in the private sector”.
But the action on which the Cisl is calling all public work federations to rally does not stop at the strike: "From now until December 1st, a social mobilization will begin in all territories and workplaces: the goal is to put our welfare system in a position to run and support people and communities in their greatest moment of need. Education, health, social security, assistance, security, research, employment services... cannot be changed with announcements and online consultations. Public service workers are the first to really want to innovate them. And they demand not only respect and recognition of their dignity, but also to put their professionalism and skills at the service of change for the country".
