(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 19 - Labour union CGIL's secretary
general, Maurizio Landini, on Friday drove to Italy's top
Cassation Court on one of three lorries containing 1,036 boxes
with four million signatures to request four referenda on the
labour market and security.
"Four million signatures of citizens who ask to vote to change
laws that are wrong and who want to affirm freedom in the
workplace and in life - the freedom not to be occasional
(workers), to not be exploited, of not having to die on the job,
of having a healthcare system that works", Landini said.
"Today starts a new phase", the CGIL chief said, saying the
organization aimed to bring "25 million people to vote to change
this country and to place work, rights and the freedom of people
at the center".
The campaign for the referenda was launched by CGIL on April 25
to promote changes to labour legislation including the
reinstatement of workers in the event of unjustified dismissal;
to scrap a six-month limit on compensation for dismissal,
including in small and medium-seized companies; to clamp down on
what CGIL has slammed as a liberalization of short-term
contracts and re-establish liability for subcontractors to boost
security and prevent accidents on the job. (ANSA).
