The CGIL discovers that the Coop like the profit, not the strike – the Newspaper

“The only your end is profit,” shouted Susanna Camusso, head of the CGIL, the stage of the workers’ demonstration of large retailers on strike before Christmas. Not angry with Esselunga or Auchan, but attacked the Coop that, on a par with competitors, have boycotted the strike for the renewal of the contract with the employees in place by two years. Camusso is exasperated by the words “The Coop’s you,” which, in the past decades, has led many members of the CGIL, sympathizers of the Communist Party and the Democratic Party, to become members of the faithful coop red supermarkets. The Coop have grown not only because of (…) (…) to the slogan “The Coop’s you,” but the fact that, being connected to the PCI-PDS-DS-Democratic Party, obtained by the municipalities with folded red many licenses for supermarkets. Obviously they were in solidarity with the CGIL, connected to the same party. Now, however, this relationship of solidarity is crumbling, because the ideology that animated it (some noble, some Machiavellian and selfish) came at sunset. And this has political consequences for the Democratic Party itself, in turn divided (in fact) into factions. And for the government Renzi, forced to jump from side to side, trying to keep quiet with all of the “bonus” paid by the exchequer. In November, the first day of strike supermarkets, several exercises of Coop had been closed in Grosseto, in Siena, nell’Aretino in Pisano, as well as in other parts of Italy. But in 2014 a large coop, the Este, had rebelled in solidarity for the strike to Christmas and his boss had issued press releases hard to criticize. Now, at Christmas, the Coop guarantee the full opening of its exercises, with the slogan that are at the service of members and create jobs. The Coop sell to shareholders, but also customers non-members. Of course, create additional employment. But the primary reason that are open at Christmas is that they need to make more profits. These, with the bad economic situation, fell, because the prices have been filed to withstand the competition. And this Christmas consumers seem willing to spend a little ‘more, because there is a small recovery in consumption, favored by the slight recovery economy and the reduction of expenditure on goods and services related to the decline of oil. There is a third leg on which rests the structure of the Democratic Party that is widening, which is the Conad, another organization of large retailers once connected to the PCI. He signed the renewal of the employment contract of the retail distribution of Confcommercio and is not involved in the strike today. If Coop remain closed their customers would go to Conad. The economy has its own rules and logic and no one can sell at a loss, except Santa Claus, who is dressed in red yes, but that’s not the red of the strikers. Camusso should get over it and say “Amen” .Francesco Strong
