Infrastructures, mobility, advanced logistics, enhancement of human capital and young people, attraction of investments. The agenda of the meeting in which Unindustria Calabria and Confederal unions CGIL, CISL and UIL have confronted each other days, Aldo Ferrarapresident of Uneindustria Calabria, and the director of the organization Dario Lamannatherefore welcomed the regional secretaries of the three union acronyms at the headquarters of the Association Gianfranco Trotta (CGIL), Giuseppe Lavia (CISL) e Mariaelena Senese (Uil).
“There is great tuning of intentions – said Ferrara at the end of the meeting –. We have seen in a joint way how important it is to operate to encourage the attraction of capital and stimulate investments even beyond regional borders. As for the theme of infrastructures, there is no distance between businesses and unions: redevelopment of industrial areas, railway networks and modern and safe roads and the mobility needs of people and businesses are not negotiable, but necessary. All in the unlawable frame of legality and safety in the workplace: the application of national work contracts is essential and with it the fight against submerged work that gives rise to unfair competition and the mortification of serious and workers’ entrepreneurs “.
«To this – said Ferrara again – joint visions on issues related to the qualification of companies such as the necessary interlocution with training bodies such as ITS, universities and academies are added. There is a human capital to be formed and enhanced with a system perspective, in a joint manner, because the miserable between supply and demand in the Calabrian labor market is reduced. This is the mutual collaboration ground that sees us anything but counterparty ».
“It’s difficult – said Trotta – call up investors in Calabria with precarious and difficult connections. The Ionian 106 must be completed, as well as high speed. It is necessary that safety in the workplace will become a priority, just as it is urgent to set the knowledge supply chain with a new law on the right to study, a regional law on the university and research system. Esperkindable then enhancing bilaterality with a view to the training of workers and employers “.
For Lavia «Only a great alliance between business and work can contribute to supporting the growth, economic and employment development of territories and communities. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen a common commitment on health and safety at work. Priority to the attraction of private investments, which generate added value, strong attention to the redevelopment of industrial areas. Together we can counteract the culture of No, which generates immobility. It is necessary to work to overcome the infrastructure gaps, with the construction, for example, of a real high speed. And a close synergy is needed, with the world of Calabrian universities. On these shared themes, we can work together concretely for a generative Calabria ».
Finally, for Sienese, «The high speed and the completion of the highway 106 are decisive for the development of Calabria and therefore of the whole South. The departure of the works on new strokes of the state road 106 represents an important news for Calabria, but risks becoming a missed opportunity if it is not clearly intervened on some crucial nodes. And then you need qualified labor, engineers, technicians and raw materials: on the latter we are faced with a real emergency linked to the supply of materials and it is precisely for this reason we ask the Calabria Region an updated quarry plan. The goal is to build a more just and inclusive society, therefore the themes of poor work, of the low wages, of the difference of wages between men and women with the same tasks must be addressed urgently, otherwise we will continue to record merciless data on the escape of young people abroad “.
