Hundreds of delegates from all over Italy arrived in Rome yesterday for the assembly unit of the three initials of grassroots unions, Cub, Cobas and Sdl: railway workers, bus drivers, teachers, employees (many now cassintegrati) Alitalia, personal health, state and parastatal agencies, telephone and fire fighters, etc.. They come from the success of the October 17 - a general strike succeeded beyond expectations and in full harmony with the Wave students - and some uncertainty near the December 12th (a similar initiative, but the CGIL). In May, Cobas, Cub and Sdl they launched the "covenant of continuous consultation 'today - in an already decidedly different - they step forward with the" basic agreement ".
A pact "basic" correct from an organizational standpoint, a national demonstration on March 28 and a general strike from April 23 to make a view the relaunch of the platform with regional initiatives. This is what decided yesterday in Rome. The deal will be structured at both national and especially at the regional level and will allow a closer link of the trade union movement. "The situation of general crisis needs tools union always stronger, 'says the leader of SDL Fabrizio Tommaselli.
And the crisis is also the focus of the introductory report of the meeting. Not only the financial crisis, as many would have us believe, but the global crisis, structural involvement of the entire system of capitalist production and life.
The main capitalist power are trying to preserve the system that is source of the crisis, serving the usual recipe: extension of the retirement age, particularly for women up to 65 years, reducing wages, cutting public spending and social services.
The crisis can be a great opportunity to change the parameters for life on the globe, as well as can produce brutal reactionary involution. Of course, Europe and rich countries, including Italy, attempts to seize the opportunity to uncambiamento radical are currently weak and fragmented.
should be "realistically utopian", namely, the report continues, "Advanced non-small adjustment of the existing proposals but alternative platforms," that yesterday would have seemed unrealistic or "Book of Dreams" and today are much more concrete.
And coming to the here and now "the Italian center-right government, accused the unions of the base, responds to the extremely harsh measures completely unacceptable situation, and accentuates a stubborn enforcement action that expands to all actors in society, to migrant workers, who struggle to make ends meet the fourth week in those who oppose the liquidation of community property. The economic crisis is not on a passenger, the government and Confindustria already show every intention of becoming a social crisis.
