Workers of school on strike today, Thursday 31 October, with a 24-hour general stoppage of teachers and ATA staff. The mobilization, announced Flc Cgil, will be enlivened throughout Italy with exhibitions, demonstrations and flash mobs planned in 40 cities and will also involve staff from universities and research institutes, academies and conservatories and Aninsei Institutes.
The basis of the protest is the demand for a “fair contract and stable work”. The budget law submitted to Parliament in the last few days does not, in fact, provide “additional resources for the renewal of the 2022-2024 contract – we read in a note – and does not solve the problem of the purchasing power of salaries compared to about 18%. In addition to this there is the old problem of precarious employment: one in four ATA workers and teachers do not have a stable contract and this damages not only the lives of the workers, but also the teaching and students and students “.
“Flc Cgil also called for the strike to confirm the idea of a democratic school, in clear contrast to the regressive and authoritarian reforms of Minister Valditara – declares Gianna Fracassi, general secretary of the Confederation of Information Workers CGIL -. On these two important mobilization dates we will repeat our opposition to the techno-professional supply chain that reduces the offer of training by giving it to private individuals, and to a high school made in Italy that corresponds to a corporate vision of education. We have repeatedly expressed concern about the new evaluation tools based on selective and punitive criteria and the revision of national indicators and civic education guidelines that have encouraged individualism and the cult of the nation and profit. Not to mention the establishment of “different” classes for students who do not speak Italian. Neither the Government nor the Ministry of Education and Merit listened to our reasons. We will be in the square on October 31 and November 15 with the students to reaffirm the protagonism of those who have experience at the school and who go through it daily”.
