Does The Queen Have Bodyguards

Cgil break with Confindustria - Statement by George Cremaschi

As was obvious, Fiat, Confindustria, CISL and UIL are in complete agreement with each other. Of course, now they have some small difference on the "how" to safeguard each other's roles and powers.
But have no disagreement with the "what", that is, on dismantling the national contract, and then for the first Fiat in all Italian workers and transform Pomigliano in the rule to apply to factory factory, territory by territory. Already there are early signs in this direction, as well as the Fiat. The industry association has called Brescia CGIL, CISL and UIL and proposed a territorial agreement that will reclaim on one of the most advanced industrial provinces of Italy and not in the South, the contents of the Pomigliano diktat. It 'obvious that this is so. Only a fool can think that what you want to get the Fiat do not demand all the other Italian industrialists. It would indeed be an advantage in the market for a single company. The substance is that we are facing the most serious attack on trade union rights, contrary to the rights, pure and simple, workers from 1945 to present. And this attack is done with the full consensus of CISL and UIL. The newspaper "Europe" wonders if Bonanni is still a trade unionist. In summary, the CGIL has to move and decide. In mid-September will be the national steering the federal government, first of all it will take political guidance. Fiat to consider the matter an issue for all Italian workers and to pass on not only Marchionne, but the Confederation of all responsibility. That means choosing a way to break with Confindustria and abandoning any ambition to rebuild the existing unit with management teams of CISL and UIL. These are the actual choices, everything else is likely to lead the CGIL in a position of absolute marginality. July 29, 2010
