Today the Italian USB union is realising a general strike day of all public workers with a national demonstration in Vidoni square in front of the Ministry of Public Administration.
The strike comes after the unacceptable proposal of minister Zangrillo in the negotiation for collective bargaining, which would mean a 10% loss of purchasing power of wages. This government proposal has resulted in the breakdown of negotiations and the strike called for today.
The LAB union of the Basque Country endorses the demands of the Italian USB and demands the Italian government to attend the demands of the unions, in order to provide adequate resources and thus guarantee the purchasing power and the stabilisation of all precarious workers of the AP.
Finally, we send all our support and solidarity to the striking comrades, hoping that it will be a demonstration of the working class that will succeed in moving the intransigent position of the Italian government.
