Bombardieri (Uil): “Strike is a right, not a proclamation of war”
“Allow me to clear up a little the climate that has been breathed in these days: proclaiming a general strike does not mean proclaiming the third world war, but using a right recognized by the Constitution”. This was specified by the general secretary of UIL, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, remotely speaking at a meeting of Uil Trasporti in Trieste.
“I remember – he added – that whoever comes to the square renounces his working day: and then it is necessary to have respect for male and female workers rather than for trade unions. We will work in these hours, on the last day we have left, to ensure that participation in the strike and demonstrations is as wide as possible “
