The unions rejected the Gelmini reform and proclaim the strike of the School announced Thursday, October 30. "The marks showed a negative response with respect to their claims and therefore have decided to promote a strong mobilization of all personnel." The unions have also announced a national demonstration in Rome on the same day.
The general strike of the school will therefore: the decision was reached yesterday during the meeting between the secretaries general of the school unions signed contracts - FLC-CGIL, CISL, School, School UIL, Snals and Gilda - which together account for 90 percent of those enrolled in the school division of more than half a million workers. It remained to define the date, now we have opted for October 30: first it was virtually impossible for the technical time and also because at mid-month, October 17, is already planned strike by Cobas.
There are several reasons that led the unions to strike: first of all
dl is the 137, in the process of final approval by next week the House and the Senate, which restores the one bringing the so-called master time base for the primary school in 24 hours. The unions also want an open confrontation with the government to decide what measures to take to reduce waste: so far, however, complain that the workers' representatives, decisions (above all contained in Article 64 of the financial approved in early August) were taken unilaterally by the executive by-laws and the use of trust in the classroom.
The mobilization will also serve to claim the renewal of the school expired nine months, always according to the union payroll of the school staff in recent years have attested fact well below the inflation rate slipped in late position and salary of the EU . Approved the courtroom, the Gelmini decree "on the single teacher" is therefore rejected from school who is preparing to take to the streets responding to the appeal of unions. An appointment, made on site by the unions, which can be reached after a march of rapprochement began weeks and already studded sit-in outside the ministry, spontaneous protest actions, occupations, "White Nights", from North to South of the peninsula.
Friday a taste of discontent will still be felt by students in dozens of cities. "The approval of the trust vote in the House on the Gelmini decree - explains the Student Union - is a further act of an undemocratic government that circumvents the many manifestations of dissent with violence and tries to assert its authoritarianism. To bring to the streets this Friday's another story, with 70 events organized by us. " "We mobilize - explains another student organization, The Student Network - against cuts of 8 billion euros to public school, which is the real reform fielded by the Government Tremonti and Berlusconi-Gelmini. Against a government that has bales, to reveal the truth to the public. " The protest by the students will pass into the hands of grassroots unions: the Cobas led by Piero Bernocchi, among the first to have called a strike, scheduled for October 17. In short, the front of the protest is broad and not confined to the school.
