Landini: “We need to increase wages and this move doesn’t do it”
“We believe that this is an unfair, wrong maneuver and we want to change it.” This was stated by Maurizio Landini, general secretary of the CGIL, speaking on the sidelines of the delegates’ assembly in Florence in which the general strike for Friday 12 December was announced. “The fundamental emergency at the moment – he said – is wages: there is a need to increase wages, this maneuver does not do that”.
Meloni’s irony: “On which day of the week will it fall?”
«New general strike by the CGIL against the Government announced by the general secretary Maurizio Landini. What day of the week will December 12th fall on? Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote it on social networks. An ironic reference to the fact that the chosen day falls on a Friday. Meloni had argued during the general strike a month ago, saying that “long weekend and revolution don’t go together”.
