USB calls the general strike Wednesday 25th: how many more deaths for the government to understand that everything must be closed down? Become the strike of all

The new decree passed on Sunday evening by the President of the Council is the poisoned fruit of the veto of the bosses to a real blockade of the production of everything that has nothing to do with the emergency and safety of people’s lives. Giving in to the diktats of Confindustria and other employers’ associations is a very serious responsibility that will aggravate the cost of human lives that our country is already paying, taken to ensure that companies can return to profit.

Is it clear that the extent of the contagion and the number of victims is recorded in the very areas where production is strongest and where, given the cynical obstinacy of employers, thousands of workers are forced to transmit the virus and a high percentage of them become ill?

We called the general strike because it is urgency that all activities, that are not really essential, stop and in defence of all workers who will have to continue to remain in service, so that all the protections to which they are entitled can really be adopted.

We have asked the President-in-Office of the Council to be received to represent the dramatic situation of a great many workers, starting with health workers, who are often forced to work in unbearable conditions, and to clearly define the penalties for employers who fail to do so. We will not accept that Confindustria should dictate the rules to the whole country and that it should actually establish the acceptable number of deaths that we will have to endure.

We call on all workers to take part in the general strike in the forms and manner that are possible today, while safeguarding the protection of citizens.

How many more deaths will it take to induce complicit trade unions to do their job, given that the bosses do theirs very well on their own?

LET MARCH 25TH BECOME A NATIONAL DAY OF GENERAL STRIKE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE!
