"The National
Boards of Cgil, Cisl, Uil called a one-day general
strike for Tuesday 16 April in order to support the
proposals of the confederal trade unions aimed at
opposing the positions of the Government".
In a unitary press
release Cgil, Cisl, Uil confirm the reasons for the
strike and explain how it will take place. The trade
unions mobilise:

against the proposed abolition
or dramatic decrease of social security
contributions
-
for employment and development
in Southern Italy
-
in support of the proposals
made by Cgil, Cisl, Uil on taxes, school and
social and medical policies.
"All the
workers will take part in the general strike by
refraining from working for the entire working day.
Industrial sectors will take part in the general
strike according to the provisions of Law 146/90 and
relevant enforcement agreements. In preparation of the
great day of fight of 16 April, all structures are
called to carry out the widest awareness campaign on
workplaces and in the territory in order to prepare
the general strike; this will be achieved with the
participation of workers and pensioners in the
meetings called by the three trade unions on a unitary
basis".
"Cgil, Cisl,
Uil, by means of all media – press, radio,
television – will make an extraordinary effort on 16
April in order to involve all citizens in the support
of the reasons for this strike and the proposals made
by the Confederal Trade Union. On the occasion of the
general strike, demonstrations will be held in each
Italian town and city in the morning or in the
afternoon, according to the decisions that will be
made by the regional confederal boards"
