Day strike, today, for the workers of supermarkets. The strike on the last Saturday before Christmas, the hottest day for holiday purchases, aims to support the renewal of the contracts of national Federdistribuzione, distribution cooperative and Confesercenti, expired more than two years. The secretary of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso, head of the procession of workers going on this morning in Milan asked citizens to refrain today from Christmas shopping “for a simple theme of solidarity,” he said during the event, to workers’ from more than two years without a contract. “
Camusso: not renewing contracts impossible to restart the application
On the sidelines of the march called by CGIL, CISL and UIL, Camusso underlined that “the business association for the canceled after the integrative, made layoffs and mobility and downloaded all the costs of the crisis on workers, again not want to renew the contract. ‘ “This creates – insisted Camusso – a situation down in the conditions of workers. And the country still does not start, because as you know our crisis is mainly domestic demand. And how do you move up the domestic demand if you do not renew contracts and wages, do not really understand. ”
Second strike in just over a month
The parade kicked off from Corso Venezia and will end in Piazza della Scala where, besides Camusso, will speak Secretary UIL, Carmelo Barbagallo and the confederal secretary of Cisl, Luigi Petteni. The approximately 500 thousand workers in the sector, from Ikea to Decathlon, the Coop to Rinascente, up to Oviesse and Carrefour, the second strike after one called “Out of everything” on 7 November, demanding an increase in the gross payroll of 85 euro monthly.
Tense relations with the other party
The strike today confirms the deterioration of relations with the employer counterpart, especially with Federdistribuzione. The association accused the unions to show “poor sense of responsibility,” and bought space in newspapers to reassure customers: “Saturday, December 19th you can do your shopping”, shops and shopping centers will remain open. Confesercenti has instead kept low tone of the controversy: the strike, he lamented, “marks a setback to a path that we would be willing to undertake already before Christmas” to get to a renewal ‘quickly’ that takes into account the “dramatic precariousness” of the SME market.
