The clash between the secretary of the CGIL Susanna Camusso and Coop, the trademark “red” of large retailers, is staged on the last Saturday before Christmas with the city festively decorated and shopkeepers who eventually hope to start Christmas shopping. The leader of the main Italian trade union has just called on consumers to boycott the stores as a sign of solidarity with the workers of large retailers that are waiting for more than two years, the renewal of the collective agreement. Then, from Piazza della Scala, in Milan, he realizes that the appeal fell on deaf ears almost everywhere as shopping malls, unlike small shops yesterday were full of people. But above all it realizes that it is the Coop, historically home to the left, left open all outlets. Camusso the words: “They say the Coop’s you: but who is this you? They say we are members but members of thing, that the only purpose is profit. Rethink the slogan. ” Ready reply: “The first mission of the cooperation of consumers is to ensure an adequate service, thereby protecting even the occupation.”
So it was in large shopping centers. Confirmation came late in the day by Federdistribuzione, who “condemned” the call not go shopping the secretary of the CGIL and pointed out that adherence to the strike was 8 percent, down 15% compared to the last event of November 7 and said “we have not had reports of stores closed.”
So all open trying to revive the fortunes of a business crushed by the crisis, which also was trying to intercept signs of recovery began in September. For the Confesercenti Italians will spend 6.3 billion although still less make gifts for family and friends saving in practice only purchases for children. And on top of thoughts is the ‘usual’ telephony with smartphones, followed by tablets and e-book readers. Gifts to the final rush according to the trade association as well, locally, does not feel any positive signal. “It takes off buying Christmas – says Valter Giammaria, President Confesercenti Roma – we thought that after payment IMU and the thirteenth few Euros families could go to the gifts but it was not, to date sales are decidedly subdued compared to last year. “
Okay Confcommercio Rome speaking of shopping stalls, traders complain that sensitive decrease in collections of gifts, when there are, of small entities. Even in the old town, especially yesterday morning, it was not exactly a party atmosphere. Traders point the finger at the number plate, considered among the most responsible for the loss of Christmas shopping.
And there are those, like the CNA of Rome, points out that only in the capital have decided the number plate for the third time in the space of a couple of weeks while in cities such as Milan, Turin, Naples, that pollution levels even higher than in Rome, this stop the car there was. “We call on Monday and Tuesday is suspended the number plate measure – thunders Giovanna Marchese Bellaroto, responsible Cna trade – the measure could cost 100 million euro to trade near a Roman.” The CNA is not so much to the Commissioner truncate, rather prefect Gabrielli, the political forces and to the presidents of the municipality to prevail upon the Commissioner to reconsider. But the decision, technical and clearly at all policy, it now seems difficult from being revoked. The near certainty, according to the CNA, which is being imposed, over the number plate, even the block in the green belt of polluting vehicles, people more readily migrates out of the fitting towards shopping centers. He explains that from a certain point of view because these yesterday was a day not so bad on the sales front. Indeed, to Port of Rome in the Bufalotta district, for example, the day ended with a plus sign. It was certainly not an isolated case.
