Trade and tourism, workers' protest: unions in the square in Cagliari
The mobilization throughout Italy for the renewal of the contract
The third Christmas with the contract expired for millions of service workers awaiting renewal for over three years. And therefore a Christmas of strike which, shouting " We are entitled to the contract! " ", today involves the tertiary sector , modern organized distribution , cooperative distribution, hotels, public establishments, collective and commercial catering , travel agencies and spa companies .
A total of over 5 million people are called to mobilize by Filcams Cgil, Fisascat Cisl and Uiltucs which expect a high membership. Initiatives also in Cagliari, in Piazza Garibaldi.
The shops , assures Federdistribuzione, the association of modern organized distribution, will remain open with the aim of minimizing inconvenience for customers on one of the hottest days of the year for shopping.
Federdistribuzione points out that the strike "does not help" in this phase of the negotiations and looks forward to being able to resume "the discussion on all the issues being negotiated" as soon as possible.
In recent days, Confcommercio and Confesercenti had also expressed their availability for immediate "all-round" discussion, without any conditions in the discussion.
The difficulties of the negotiation would be above all on the regulatory part of the contract, on issues such as seasonality, flexibility in working hours, professional classification, paid leave and the fourteenth salary.
According to Confcommercio sources, on the salary side, however, the distances are "not unbridgeable". Even for some union sources, the hope is to be able to resume negotiations in the first weeks of January to quickly reach the signature.
Today the general secretary of Uil, Pierluigi Bombardieri, will be in Rome, at the demonstration that will move from Piazza Esquilino to Piazza Santi Apostoli. The secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini and the deputy general secretary of the CISL, Daniela Fumarola, will participate in the procession in Milan, from Piazza Castello to Piazza Sempione.
The unions also took to the streets in Naples, from Piazza Mancini to Piazza Matteotti, and Palermo, from Piazza Teatro Massimo to Via E.Mari.
