National school strike today with demonstration in Rome in the morning where a hundred buses from all over Italy are expected to arrive and will gather in Piazza Santi Apostoli. The demonstration was called by CGIL, CISL, UIL, Snals, Gilda and Anief and is linked to the fact that, explain the unions, “the government chooses to build a training for a few , financed by cutting staff. In addition, the precarious workers are humiliated with a new recruitment system and they are denied authorization ”.

Another theme on which the protest is focused is the contract that has expired for three years and the "betrayal of the Pact for schools": "The resources allocated are not enough given the commitment of the school throughout the years of the pandemic. We highlight the government's inadequacy with respect to needs ”.

“The refrain is the usual: stabilize the precarious, not considering at all the right of pupils to have better teachers, more prepared, more up-to-date - still say the trade unions - And obviously we want the distribution of money for everyone. We do not want to hear about merit and differentiations . More money for everyone has a populist flavor without using the increases to restore efficiency and rewarding ".

For Uil, on the other hand, “we are registering the desire to demonstrate in a category that has been sacrificed and mortified too many times. In many realities protests are being organized. The square in Rome will only be the megaphone of a mobilization that the unions have jointly organized and that the workers are animating and making their own. If the news that reaches us is confirmed, they will be the protagonists ”.
