School is clash Government-unions: ballots at risk – The Messenger

Dialogue, but no breakthrough. Much less positive. The hypothesis of hindering the polls as a sign of protest against the content of the Bill Good school is becoming more concrete. The meeting yesterday afternoon at Palazzo Chigi between the Government – represented by 4 ministers, Woods, Madia, Giannini, Delrio and Undersecretary to the Prime Minister De Vincenti – and the unions was definitely from “black smoke”.

that to the course would have been to had already understood from the statements of Premier morning: “We are willing to listen to the unions of all,” but “school work if it all”, “we do not do political divisions on the skin of the school. There can never be a chance to block the quality in the school. ” In short, we listen but we go on.

The message to the unions came loud and clear. “It’s still as if we had the gun to his head,” summed up the leader of the UIL, Carmelo Barbagallo. Substance – he said the leader of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso, “was not given any answer to the problems that we have proposed. The government said it had taken note, even though we are far from the radical change of the system. ” And also the general secretary of Cisl, Annamaria Furlan, considers inadequate the changes introduced in Parliament: “If they had done before other meetings with the Government would surely have built a path more useful to change the school.”

do not intend to disarm the unions. “The government has merely taken note of the statements of each” told at the end of the confrontation that went on for about three hours, recorded moments of tension and decibel not exactly friendly conversation. FLC, CISL school, UIL school, and Gilda Snals, that they have no intention on this occasion to break the unity of action, fielding new mobilization initiatives during the period of the ballots. Not a real block because the law on the regulation of strikes would not allow this, but certainly a great inconvenience.

“It is ending the school year in an atmosphere of conflict,” regrets the leader UIL school, Massimo Di Menna. “In the coming days we will organize principals at the start of the debate in the House, meetings and initiatives of struggle in schools. The fight continues, “promises the leader of the FLC, Mimmo Pantaleo.

I Cobas, that move on their own, as well as interference in times of ballots, want to propose to the other unions to choose a date, a Sunday (which could be June 7, suggest) “to defend together the common good school.” “They want to go on like a train,” showed “astonishing arrogance” and “openings zero” glosses the movement’s leader, Piero Bernocchi.

“There remain strong differences” is forced to admit the minister of ‘Education, Stefania Giannini, while reiterating the desire for dialogue. This dialogue, however, has stakes adamant: “The government on key points of the bill will not make school steps back” warned the charge of the department of Education. While the Secretary to the Prime Minister, Claudio De Vincenti, defines “irresponsible” the hypothesis of a block of the ballots; an initiative that “in the face of a manifest will of the government to dialogue,” complains De Vincenti, “would affect only students and families.”
