(ANSA) – MILAN, MAY 14 – “Wages from hunger and lack of rights in tourism”: this is the complaint of the general secretary of the Cub, Marcelo Amendola, who explains “also for this reason on Friday 20 May we will be in the streets for the general strike and social organized by the basic trade unions, associations and movements of citizens and workers “.
It will be attended by workers, pensioners and students who “intend to make their voices heard to say no to investments in arms at the expense of social ones”, he stresses.
In particular, the problem of the tourism sector “is represented by low salaries, the lack of specific social safety nets for seasonal workers and respect for workers’ rights, serious planning for investments in infrastructures, the necessary training that is currently totally non-existent, scarce or phony “.
More generally, regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine for Amendola “the war will produce, and already produces, serious repercussions at the economic level of which we now see only the tip of the iceberg, but which in the near future will cause further poverty, company closures and layoffs, going in the opposite direction with respect to serious and substantial investments in welfare, in public schools and in the world of work in general, with Italy, unique in Europe, where in recent years wages have progressively lost value with a power of ‘purchase that decreases every day in the face of a cost of living that shows no sign of decreasing, on the contrary “.
