- ROME, OCT 7 - Leader of Italy's leading trade union confederation CGIL Maurizio Landini on Saturday urged Italians to continue to fight for their rights and for the Constitution at a demonstration organised by a network of associations, opposition parties and unions in Piazza San Giovanni in central Rome.
"We represent the majority of this country. We need to fight," Landini said from the stage, addressing the crowd on an estimated 200,000. "We will not stop and we will go on until we get results," he added, renewing calls for the introduction of a minimum hourly wage. "5-6 euros per hour are starvation wages, unacceptable," said Landini, also criticising the government's decision to put on hold examination by parliament of a joint opposition bill on the minimum wage in order to give the National Council for Economics and Labour time to come up with a comprehensive proposal in time for the 2024 budget.
"Instead of taking the responsibility to convene social partners and say what it wants to do on contracts, on the law on representation, on the minimum wage, the government has subcontracted its role to the CNEL. It is an attack on the free action of workers," the CGIL leader said. .
