The results of the referendum among the workers at Fiat Mirafiori leave no room for interpretation, despite the shamelessness of some comments from from other unions.
47% of "No" marks the victory beyond doubt the presence of the dignity of those who have staged a shameful blackmail campaign against the workers demanding in exchange for investment, the waiver of rights unavailable.
The CGIL has sided with his class, claiming the dignity of the union and more representative of all workers, and then watched indignantly to the unacceptable positions of Prime Minister Berlusconi in support of irresponsibility Marchionne Fiat AD. Now
government and business should take note of the outcome of the vote risicatissima well beyond the victory of "Yes". The race to the bottom - one that impact on reducing the cost of labor and social guarantees, leaving intact the real reasons for the frightening lack of competitiveness of the Lingotto - certainly will not help Fiat to be the global market.
E 'therefore necessary that top management attitude change immediately, fully respecting the prerogatives of all the employees concerned for their future and for the systematic infringement of the rights provided for therein. The dispute thus remains open.
And if we were to continue to attend provocations - to begin by opposing the new blackmail sacrosanct protest - we immediately launch the proposed nationalization of the Fiat. Why are we talking about a heritage of Italy and its workers.
Despite the material and moral blackmail to which they were subjected, "and vote yes or you are sent in the middle of a road," nearly half the total of over 5,000 workers of the Fiat Mirafiori heroically decided not to bow to the "dictates "Marchionne's plan and his neo-slavery. Decided to move the final verdict in favor of the SI was the vote of the 500 employees and middle managers who participated in the vote even if the agreement which were not touched in any way called to express their bargaining position.
The memory can not then go back to 1980 when the so-called "march of the white-collar imposed the end to the occupation of the plant that lasted uninterrupted for Torinese 35 days, marking perhaps the most crushing defeat of the labor movement after the war. Since then, over the past thirty years, the working class has experienced the worst period in its history has seen the introduction of casual and temporary, the decrease in wages, raising the retirement age and the loss of trade union rights. The present attempt of the bosses, to whom the Mirafiori and agreements Pomigliano are only representations, goes even beyond these defeats: we want to actually bring the 800 production methods and conditions for workers with those of slavery.
, as now, to pursue their interests, the owners have found some allies in the workers themselves, in the union "yellows" and heads of department. Where can not despair staff worker for her master to corrupt, to buy, divide, lie and deceive: To put one against the other workers.
The fact remains that the establishment of production centers in the body NO has won everywhere, and without the vote of "pictures" enslaved, the NO would win, although measuring the total workforce. Marchionne does not come at all then the winner in this fight. In fact now he is aware that the majority of the workers avverserà continuously, they can expect in the future also the support of only those who voted YES to despair, that around the heroic resistance of the workers of Mirafiori is tightening a united front to fight ready to set up a general strike to the bitter end. So if
Mirafiori thirty years ago marked the end of the class struggle in Italy, today Mirafiori can and should become the symbol and the starting point of a new era of workers' struggle.

There is no shame in the yield of workers Fiat. What happened had to be relentlessly. The Italian working class is capped under the steamroller of capitalist reaction. As time? Nothing is lost if it remains intact conscience and faith, if they surrender their bodies but not their hearts.
The Fiat workers for years have fought hard, have their blood soaked the streets, hungry and cold, and they remain, to this their glorious past, at the forefront of the Italian proletariat, they are soldiers faithful and devoted to the revolution.
have done all that is given to men of flesh and blood, let us take off his hat before their humiliation, because in it is something big that it requires sincere and honest.
