The Flc Cgil Caravan arrives in Calabria from 10 to 16 April. The union that protects the rights of knowledge workers (school, university, research, training, Afam) is traveling far and wide across the country with the slogan “Same country, same rights” with the aim of raising awareness and starting a discussion on differentiated autonomy, the salary question in the public and private sectors of knowledge starting from contract renewals, precariousness and the quality of work, privatization and the defunding of schools, universities, research and Afam.
“It's about – explains the general secretary Flc Cgil Calabria Mimmo Denaro – of an important appointment, an opportunity to counter a dangerous project, especially for our region. The approval of the Calderoli bill is a true secessionist plan that would cause serious consequences, with a differentiated autonomy which, in fact, would fragment the public education system, which for us must be unique and equal throughout the national territory. The consequences would be serious and irreversible with an increase in the gap between North and South on policies of strategic importance for growth and development: environment, infrastructure, energy and, above all, schools, with the real risk of regionalization which would make the right unequal. at the studio”.
“We have received various support as well as the testimonies that we will collect along the way, demonstrating that the battle against the dangers of this wicked project concerns us all”.
