“Today, in conjunction with the Labor Festival, we at ‘Giovine Cosenza’ wish all the workers and all the workers to live a carefree day away from the work desks and proudly celebrate every single drop of sweat poured”. Salvatore Mattia Barletta, deputy secretary general of the municipal council of young people of Cosenza told Aigi who analyzes the critical issues in the world of Calabrian work.
“According to the latest analysis of the Irpef data, promoted by the Finance Department, in 2023 Calabria was the Italian region with the lower annual gross income average of the peninsula with the average result of 18,230 euros. The region where it earns more? Lombardy, of course, with a gross average income of 29,120 euros. A disarming profitable difference, which outlines a substantial disparity between the regions of the (richer) from the southern ones (poorer). life)”.
“Always taking into consideration the same previously analyzed data – continues Barletta – it can be noted that the average Italian gross female income in 2023 is equal to a miserable 19,410 euros compared to 28,080 euros male. It should be wondered why the sex of an individual is a discriminant in the workplace? Why does an employer tend to pay less a woman? Why don’t you have certain answers? Do you have, why has the situation always been tragic? Calabria Only 33.1% of the female population is occupied, decreeing our region as the penultimate throughout Europe above Campania only. This percentage determines that our region is below the European average precisely of half (66.2%) in addition, 56.6% of Calabrian men are busy, making Calabria effectively the tail light from all over Europe “.
‘Giovine Cosenza’ invites all the workers to “fight strenuously side by side to protect your rights that are trampled innumerable times. Two hundred years ago to let the working hours lower, some sacrificed themselves losing their lives”. Finally, an appeal to contrast the phenomenon of exploitation of work: “Today, tomorrow, in a month … nobody will help you if you do not start doing it alone and alone. Your life is not a salary, it is not a tear paid behind a desk. We at Giovine Cosenza defend the rights of all and of all, and we denounce the precarious situation in which the Italian workers and the workers”.
