Rome, 22 December (LaPresse) – ‘The disgraceful spectacle of the last few hours over the maxi amendment to the budget confirms that there was one more reason to strike. This government does not want to discuss with anyone, neither with Parliament nor with the social partners. It only cares about power, not about responding to people's needs. And it is leading the country into decline and recession.’ So said CGIL General Secretary Maurizio Landini in an interview with La Repubblica. ‘They are cutting back on the weakest while siding with the strong,’ he insists. ‘What message does it send to penalise early and strenuous workers in order to shift resources to companies that do not respect contracts and save on safety? That you can even die from work. This is unacceptable logic.’ For Landini, this is a manoeuvre "against workers and pensioners.
