May Day: in Campania we return to the streets for peace and work. 'At work for Peace' is the theme chosen by the confederate unions to celebrate the 2022 workers' holiday
Back in the square also in Naples for the First of May Cgil, Cisl and Uil, after two years of stop. Meeting in largo Donnaregina with workers and the general consul of Ukraine.
'Working for Peace' is in fact the theme chosen by the confederate unions to celebrate Labor Day 2022.
A Napoli, following that line we start from the Curia area to launch a message of hope and solidarity to the Ukrainian people. On the stage there will be alternating speeches by three union delegates from the health, school and metalworkers sectors and the speech by the Consul General of Ukraine in the Campania capital, Maksym Kovalenko.
The mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, is expected to attend. The secretary general of Cgil Naples and Campania, Nicola Ricci, will conclude on behalf of Cgil, Cisl and Uil Naples.
“Naples must reclaim its powers in terms of work and legality – says the general secretary of Cgil Naples and Campania, Nicola Ricci – many municipalities in the province, dissolved due to the Camorra, where school dropout is at 50 percent and economic and social inequalities are evident, with neighborhoods in difficulty. The Pact for Naples, in which we strongly believe, must represent an important development opportunity for the territory".
“Cgil, Cisl and Uil – explains Melicia Comberiati, secretary of Cisl Naples – they cannot help but think in this moment of attack on democracy, on peace and therefore on the work for a possible growth and on how to redefine the borders and redefine the needs of our territories and our needs. Naples' response has been great in terms of welcoming refugees.
These people who are arriving need dignity and therefore as Cgil, Cisl and Uil we will take charge of accompanying and supporting them. But in addition to this, policies of inclusion and integration are needed, also taking advantage of the resources of the Pnrr, without neglecting the disputes still open in the territory".
“For this May Day, we have chosen to unite peace with work given what is happening in the heart of Europe, in Ukraine, and what continues to happen in other parts of the world. – underlines Giovanni Sgambati, general secretary of Uil Naples and Campania – It is necessary, after two years of pandemic and lockdown that have brought the Italian and global economy to its knees, to implement actions to narrow and eliminate the inequalities that already existed. In Campania, in Naples, in addition to the battle for jobs, we must not lower our guard on safety in the workplace".
We are returning to the streets, unitedly, also in the other provinces of Campania.
