Giorgio Cremaschi
E 'useless to hide behind the words. The general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL is presented as a strike in half. On the one hand, it is clear, it collects a question of mobilization that started from the square of 16 October where they met Fiom and movements.
other hand, however, not only for its size, the four hours, but also the goals, looks like a strike in complete continuity with the initiatives of the past.
On 26 June last year, the CGIL called for a four-hour general strike against the policies of the Berlusconi government. A year later, does the same same thing, in exactly the same way. Between these two dates has changed the world.
Marchionne's attack, one of the Gelmini, the spread from public to private, from the metal workers to teachers to staff the service sector, the devastation of contract, questioned everything. CISL and UIL accomplices were convinced that all the choices of the government and Confindustria, Fiat.
E 'advanced process of destruction of the welfare state in Italy is presented as Federalism.
All this was accompanied by worsening of the crisis of democracy, free elections in the abolition of Fiat as in the work public attack on the judiciary, attack the Constitution, the impunity of Berlusconi claimed and proclaimed as a system of government. Yet after all this, the general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL is the same as a year ago.
It 'obvious that this error of sensitivity and political decision stems from a basic flaw that persists in the line of the confederation. He continues to deny reality. We continue to believe that over Marchionne, over Berlusconi and Sacconi, as well as the separate agreements, there is still a world in which we can reconstruct a single policy with CISL and UIL and a social pact with the Confederation. This world does not really exist anymore.
There is now a block of power, a genuine dialogue that ensures that all major economic and social policy decisions are taken by mutual agreement between the League, Tremonti, Berlusconi, Confindustria, CISL and UIL. There is a power bloc that governs Italy concertation and excludes the CGIL.
This power bloc makes Berlusconi continues, despite his misdeeds, to remain in the saddle, while it seems inconclusive and ineffective political opposition. The leadership of the CGIL is still under the illusion that sooner or later Marcegaglia lady, the CISL, the UIL, make another policy.
It 's the same illusion that cultivates Bersani when asked the League to dissociate itself from Berlusconi. But to deny the reality may be more likely to change course and behavior. So, speculatively, to a political opposition that every five minutes asking the fall of Berlusconi, but does nothing real serious for this to happen, so the CGIL demands a profound change in the economic and social policies, but then does a general strike to block the country really.
E 'this contradiction that was immediately picked up in all workplaces where, after the first cautious satisfaction with the proclamation of a general strike, expressed the anger over the date and especially for four hours. Who errs, as does our dear friend Loris Campetti on the poster, understates the issue and get carried away in the old logic of the glass as half full.
This general strike as it is not right, must be changed. First you must put in the deck that it must be proclaimed not only against the government but also against the Confindustria and the system of enterprises. We think of Confcommercio, which is spreading everywhere, with the government, the model Marchionne.
must stop deluding ourselves that there is another good employer who is ready to dissociate the managing director of Fiat. Secondly, it should make a general strike of eight hours. Already several categories: school, the civil service, trade, metal workers, seem to have decided or determined to decide the extent of the strike. You have to try to block the country and not to make a strike situation.
In the coming weeks, every workplace, every union representation, each structure must be brought to discuss and decide on the objectives and the extent of the strike. The strike will be a meeting around the country fighting for rights and democracy.
For this you must meet the social movements and students. They must be active and participate in the strike and not simply viewers tolerated. Finally, this strike is also politically constructed than CISL and UIL. The unit on May 1, preceding the strike is pure hypocrisy and could even damage the day of the fight if that day on the streets, you should diplomatically silent about it.
Do a May 1 to prepare the strike, which explains the rationale and objectives and should be in place for that too. Never mind if CISL and UIL at this point it will be swept away or be forced not to participate.
must get serious. Every day, working women and men, young people, the unemployed and precarious workers are faced with tragedies that befall their lives. For this ritual mobilizations no use to anyone and may even be counterproductive. At this point we have two months to reach a general strike true. We ensure that every event - the March 11 trade unions to strike the base, the other struggles and protests, assemblies of students and social movements, civil society events, from March 12 to the water - even preserving their autonomy, of course, serve also to ensure that the strike of May 6th is a meeting point for all.
Impadroniamoci that date and we do not believe the general strike proclaimed by the secretary of the CGIL a date that marks the country's social and political life. With the knowledge Today more than ever the critical need to those elites who do not want to take the size of the hard and tragic conflict. The transformation of the strike on May 6 in a general strike true, it is the path on which we have to move.
