See this beautiful place really gives so much happiness, but at the same time indicates a hope. It is also a square indicates that a force is primarily a place that unites this country and speaks to the country. He says that that is out of the grave crisis we are experiencing is no need to call the center's work, the rights. And for this reason it is necessary to oppose the policy that the government is doing and you need to counter the political Confindustria, in this country, along with Federmeccanica, is doing.
Because the fundamental point from which to start are the reasons for which you have given this crisis. We are in the presence of the fact that for 20 years told us that it was sufficient "to leave the market and all would be right." And after 20 years we are faced with the fact that finance has no rule, indeed the policy and have been in the service of finance. We are in the presence of tax evasion that has no precedent, all to the detriment of employees. We are in the presence of uncertainty in the work that has never had a dimension like the one we are experiencing. We are faced with the fact that there has been a redistribution of wealth at the expense of those who work on an unprecedented scale.
You see, when you work and you are poor, we are faced not only an injustice, but the obvious fact that such a society is not acceptable and we must rise up to change it. And we must say emphatically that, precisely for these reasons, out of this crisis requires changes.
Many are simply described as those who are able to just say "no." It 's true. We at Fiat have said 'no' to Federmeccanica we said "no." Because when you want to cancel the rights, if you want to cancel the contract, when you want to delete the dignity of the fibula working, we always say "no". Never accept that this is the way to change the situation.
But I would remind these people that we, instead, made proposals to change this situation. We want another model of development. We want to renegotiate that is what is produced, and that what is produced is environmentally sustainable, but we want the common good of this country will be defended, they are privatized, we want to cancel your insecurity, redistribute wealth and raise wages, we want to extend rights to those without them. That is, young people today are faced with no future, only the prospect of being precarious throughout his life.
We do not accept this thing, we want to change. And we also want the school is a public law, that it is possible to combine work, rights, knowledge, and we also want democracy to be extended.
You see, these days many people have spoken. The ministers even have competed to tell who knows what would have happened today. I think you should be ashamed for what they said. Because when it comes to even invoke the dead, as a minister has done, we face a total irresponsibility.
But this place ... This square has the strength to say that this is not only a manifestation of democracy and peace, but we would mention that if there is democracy in this country is because the workers had won and extended. And if these ministers are also nonsense to say that sometimes they say it is because we guarantee that the democratic right of everyone to speak and can say what they think.
If you think for a moment ... the processes of globalization in recent years there have been just have their limits in democracy, they are afraid of democracy, they are afraid of transparency, they are afraid that people can know what is happening and can decide.
We are facing a serious crisis as we have never lived; is endangering thousands of jobs. Despite tell us that we should not worry and that everything is okay, we know perfectly well that it is not. Indeed, if in the coming months there is a radical change in industrial policies, we risk being confronted with additional closures at the end of the house integration, and thousands of jobs that are lost, the unemployment.
But that's the point of novelty. It is beginning to understand that this is turbo-devouring everything, regardless of tomorrow, which could consume this without any idea of \u200b\u200bthe future, so we really need to effect change.
The government and Confindustria
are using this crisis because it would change the social structures and power. The rest is a bit 'that they are doing. Back in 2001, with the White Paper by the then Minister Maroni, the center and the Confederation had drawn what they would do, and are now trying to do exactly what they said then. The attack on public schools, the blocking of contracts, cancellation of bargaining, the abolition of democracy in the workplace, the overcoming of the right to bargain, the total absence of an industrial policy is back this country, are part of the same design.
But we have understood, and that is why we want to change the situation. We want to put in place an action that does not end today, but that can change in the factories in the area, this situation.
I have spoken to all colors on the workers, the Fiom, the CGIL. Even Brunetta has come to accuse me of being a union that defends the lazy and malingerers. I think it's a false public document, because we, Brunetta, we never defended. So it's clear to everyone that we are faced with the lies ...
The case of Fiat ... We are faced with a theory that would pass in this country to invest in Italy should cancellare i diritti e gli orari, per far funzionare le fabbriche in Italia ci vorrebbe il diritto di poter licenziare quando si vuole
E invece noi dovremmo porci un altro problema: perché la Fiat è messa peggio di altre aziende che costruiscono auto? Perché tutti parlano del modello tedesco e in Germania gli stipendi sono il doppio di quegli italiani, lavorano meno e vendono più macchine?
È esemplificativo quello che è successo negli ultimi due incontri che abbiamo avuto con la Fiat. Uno è avvenuto a Torino. C'erano tutti: il governo, le forze istituzionali, tutte le forze sindacali. Marchionne, cui va riconosciuto il parlare con chiarezza, non ha and that only the Fiom Cgil "tell me yes or no." He used to tell the audience that his plan has decided he will not discuss that with anyone who does not want just anyone into agreement with, and that simply asks everyone, even the government and the institutional forces simply to say yes or no.
course, in that case only the Fiom CGIL and told him he does not go well and that it can not work.
I, frankly, I am stunned when the largest Italian company that is well known, in recent years has had a lot of public funding that allowed it to be one that is located in front of a government and institutions unable to say more than simply "yes."
I would like to mention here that the first to say 'no' to the Fiat was not the Fiom. When Fiat went to Germany to buy the Opel and presented business plans ... IG-Metall's said "no", the German government told him "no." Why, if we assume the German model, then we must also make a distinction on industrial policy. It is not true that companies do not have a social responsibility, it is not true that only the interest. I reiterate here, from this square. We, the Fiom, the CGIL, the Italian male and female workers, more Fiat's Marchionne still, we want you in Italy continue to produce cars, trucks and tractors. Because while he has the opportunity to decide to go and produce around the world, this alternative we do not have one.
And for this reason we want to deal with such problems.
If there is a delay and you sell less, it is because in recent years it has invested little in product innovation and projects, because the competition is not you cut the wages and entitlements. And it is wrong for the country as well as for the workers, I think you win the competition only on low wages. If there is a quality problem, can not be told that in Italy "is not asking for government intervention" and then you go to Serbia because you are the bridges of gold. Can not be told that "in Italy do not need government intervention" and then you go in the U.S. because Obama and employees make available their money.
laovoglio I say still more clearly: if there is no government intervention in our country for direct investment, research, a new quality of development, there is no escape from this crisis. Because those who have determined they can not come and tell them how they know it comes out.
And we say with great responsibility, perché è ora di smetterla. Noi non abbiamo semplicemente detto «no» a Pomigliano. Noi abbiamo avanzato delle controproposte. Abbiamo detto che eravamo pronti ad aumentare l'utilizzo degli impianti, perché il contratto che c'è permette di fare più turni. Abbiamo detto che eravamo pronti a discutere di come migliorare la produttività, di come articolare in modo diverso le pause, abbiamo addirittura fatto una proposta che darebbe alla Fiat un utilizzo degli impianti e una capacità produttiva superiore a quella che loro hanno pensato.
Stiamo ancora aspettando la risposta. La verità è che non gli interessa quante macchine si fanno; vogliono affermare l'idea che non c'è più, for people working in factories, the right to negotiate their working conditions.
I say frankly, to say here that is at stake and the Fiom CGIL, or Who wish to take out the Fiom and the CGIL, is only part of the truth.
I think we are facing a step even further ... And that is the attempt of Confindustria, Fiat and Federmeccanica, to cancel the contract with the derogabilità of collective bargaining.
The true goal is not simply take out the Fiom and the CGIL, but more. It 'clear the right of the people working in the factory, if they wish, can contract, that free people with the ability to run the plant better. It means let us go back a hundred years.
And I believe that this barbarism is not only unacceptable, because it worsens the condition of those who work, but it is unacceptable because it's back across the country, is back on the industrial system of our country.
In fact, the last meeting we had with Fiat in June, many told us that yes, Pomigliano was a bad agreement, but it was signed because "there is the mafia, because there is a situation difficult. " Do you remember, then, We have explained that those would remain an isolated thing, it would not extended? Not only do we now derogabilità to the contract, but in the last meeting, October 5, Fiat, have reminded us that if we want to know what is the plan (one of the oddities of this situation is that no one knows what, where and when The new products will be made) before we sign an agreement allowing them to extend Pomigliano in any other establishment provides. Indeed. We were told that in some cases, perhaps, there may be a need to go too 'over Pomigliano.
Here, I believe that when he theorized that "if we want rights, you do not want factories, "should remind them that in fact we are already in the presence of" factories that no longer have rights. " It should remind them that the actual risk, if it passes this design is that the art. 1 of our Constitution ("Italy is a republic founded on work") is that we are already faced with the fact that ours is a republic based on labor exploitation in factories and at home.
So we say: we are a union that wants to strike deals, the rest is what we always do, that's what we do every day in thousands of factories. But if you really want to work better le fabbriche, allora si riaprano le trattative e si mettano le lavoratrici e i lavoratori in condizione di poter votare, di poter decidere e di poter contrattare le proprie condizioni.
Voglio rilanciare con forza quelle che sono le ragioni della nostra piattaforma, della nostra manifestazione, che è stata capace di mettere assieme tante persone diverse. Vedete, quando chi studia, chi è precario, chi lavora nel pubblico impiego, chi è metalmeccanico, chi è pensionato... trova di nuovo la possibilità di avere un terreno comune di azione che rimette al centro lavoro, diritti, un'idea di società finalmente diversa, più giusta, dove la giustizia sociale, l'eguaglianza, la solidarietà return to be elements that unify ... I believe that this heritage is the responsibility of everyone not to disperse. Because this is the condition for changing this country.
to raise forcefully the idea that we should not be afraid of words, our goal, yes, you turn this unjust society, which clears the dignity of the worker. We want your change, yes, and we want to do starting from the factories, work, giving a perspective to young people and especially saying that "it is possible."
We want a society without corruption, without theft, as what we have instead face.
So ... If we speak of rights we say it clearly: we want to extend rights to all, we want the extension of the industry at all. Let
: in many years told us that giving rights to those in need to remove those that we already have them. Let's have a good laugh in the face to those who say these things, let us tell us very clearly that the problem of extending the rights, status of workers, social safety nets to even get to think of new things to forms of ' citizen's income, "which dealt with the problem of a different perspective for young people is the ground on which we want to work.
You see, a lot of talk, but if people sometimes turn away a little 'of politics is because they are tired of words and must be consistent, do what they say, try to do what they say.
So I'm just fighting for a fairer tax, I find it necessary that employees and pensioners pay less taxes because they are the only ones who pay for those who are escaping. But it takes a little 'consistency. You can not come and say that when the government made the tax shelter not noticed it and then asks you to pretend to demonstrate the "tax reform".
Ci vuole una coerenza. E mi permetto di dire che che questa teoria secondo cui «tutti devono pagare meno tasse», a me non convince tanto. Perchè non è mica vero.
Io penso che bisogna dire con chiarezza che i lavoratori dipendenti e i pensionati devono pagare meno tasse; gli altri ne debbono pagare di più perché hanno evaso il fisco in questi anni. Sono quelli che hanno i servizi pubblici che noi.
E vogliamo estendere i diritti anche ai tanti lavoratori immigrati. Vorrei ricordare che, al di là delle dispute nel centrodestra, noi stiamo ancora pagando la legge Bossi-Fini. Perché fanno finta di discutere tra loro. Ma poi, quando c'è as to pay, those have always agreed to charge us. This is also a point: the extension of citizenship rights.
We also say: the national contract. You see, they met and have written in ten lines that no longer the national labor contract. Why may be waived. You know, when it is said to be waived in a contract and if there is a crisis is to make investments, it means that the national contract is no more. This results in a wild competition between firms and between workers.
We must make it clear to us that the only real agreement is in force is that of 2008, which was voted by all employees and which was signed by all. That is the only legitimate contract and we will defend ourselves, and the factory to factory in the country, even coming to court, if necessary, to defend the rights and the contract.
But I also think we need to say more. Let me give you a personal example. When I started working when I entered the factory, from the receptionist to the designer, under the same roof, all had the same contract and the same rights. Today if you go to find a workplace that is no longer the case.
While those in power is always that we are broken and divided, there are various contracts: cooperatives, contracts, subcontracting, the temporary worker. We need, in light of this great event, to say clearly that the goal of a review worthy of the name is reuniting rights in this country. To do this, if you need to think of something new, I think I need no less contracts, this story that anyone can contract in its name or on its territory (as there is a national agreement that sets out the rights for all, the bargain is a bargain to miss, factory setting). There's something new to say: we should think of an industry agreement, one of the services, another del pubblico impiego. Dobbiamo cioè pensare a come si riunificano i lavoratori.
Tanti ci hanno chiesto: «perché nelle parole d'ordine avete parlato di legalità?» Ne abbiamo parlato perché basta vedere quello che è successo all'Aquila; perché, mentre questi raccontano che vogliono fare il ponte sullo stretto di Messina, nel frattempo fanno chiudere tutte le fabbriche che ci sono in Sicilia. Cosa dovrebbe trasportare quel ponte se le fabbriche non ci sono più? Perché, anziché sviluppare le energie alternative, si inventano di fare il nucleare. Perché in questo paese l'unico elemento che ormai c'è dappertutto, l’elemento di unità, è l'estensione lawlessness, has become a system.
We want to fight with a new model and we must also say that in the name of legality, to have money to reinvest, you must also withdraw troops dall'Afhganistan. It is a fact of democracy is central.
There are two other elements.
We want the job back to being truly general interest of this country and we want people to realize the work they do.
But to do this we need to have rights and also that it is possible to contract in their factory condition.
E Finally, I see two basic elements. Democracy is being attacked on every level: the information, newspapers, the judiciary. But even in factories. You see ... Why have a "separate arrangements"? Simply a fact. Why women workers and workers are prevented from being able to vote and decide on the agreements that affect them. For this reason, we say we need a law on democracy, which gives this right and stipulates that every company agreement, national, interconfederal to be valid, must be approved by a majority of female and male workers.
can no longer be that if the unions are in agreement with each other, then No problem. This must be a right of female and male workers, because this is the condition to reset the unit.
You see, trade union unity is first and foremost a right of women workers and workers' democracy is the condition to be able to raise. And we, here, I strongly suggest: this is the first thing to do, this is the first site, if you want to retrieve a single element.
And finally I really want to end on this. I thought as I listened even fellow Pomigliano and Melfi.
If today we can say that it is an extraordinary thing happened, that there is a novelty in this country, that work is returned to the center of social and political debate - and I say softly - not simply because the Fiom said 'no' or CGIL said "no."
No. 'success more than that. Because if there were no workers Pomigliano who voted "no" to that agreement, if they did not say that the rights do not exchange with the occupation, if there were three delegates from that Melfi, in the face of Fiat who says 'I'll work, but you do not put in the factory' (and the respondents who refuse to be paid by Fiat, want to work) ... If there was this shot of dignity there was this event.
This is the new element that gives us a hope that gives us strength, which tells us that change is possible. But it is precisely for this reason - and I say it quietly - because there's this place, because there is this dignity that we have a duty to continue this battle.
And I think it's imperative that you arrive to continue the proclamation of general strike of all workers in our country. For democracy and a new model of development can not be built if there is no ability to change. This gives us force. Thank you so much for everyone. Viva la Fiom, long live the CGIL, the workers live!
Thank you all.
