We want to find a balance between the right to strike and the right to work and mobility”, stated the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Now, after the conclusion of the After the discussion between the parties at MIT, the deputy prime minister guaranteed which, within a few hours, will send the communication in accordance with the strike called by the CGIL and the UIL.
“We are not afraid of anything, the injunction may arrive, it is a procedure that the minister can implement, but we are not afraid”, said Emanuele Ronzoni, organizational secretary of the Uil, explaining that we will “advance on our path”. “We have taken a step moving forward, as the commission asked us and now we will listen carefully to what the minister has to tell us”, he said before the meeting with Salvini. The unions, he further explained, “withdrew air transport from the strike and reformulated the strike notice regarding firefighters, what the commission had asked us to do”.
“We reconfirm the reasons for the strike and above all the nature of the mobilization, which is and continues to be a general strike. We await the decision that Salvini will communicate shortly: we believe that the reasons presented to the Guarantor and that we also brought to the meeting at MIT today remain fully important and relevant and this also leads us to continue with the strike that we have indicated for the 17th of November”: this is what the CGIL’s confederal secretary, Maria Grazia Gabrielli, said at the end of the meeting at MIT with minister Matteo Salvini.
