My Mother With Big Breasts

BRESCIANI LUIGI IS THE NEW SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE CGIL DI BERGAMO


BERGAMO - He was elected in mid-afternoon by the Steering Committee of the CGIL di Bergamo the new secretary general provincial : Luigi Bresciani is already two and a half years a member of the secretariat.

The working day began at 10.30 am, when the Secretary-General Regional CGIL Baseotto Nino has officially advanced to the audience the proposed name of Bresciani for the replacement of Secretary-General. Laing, in fact, after eight years at the helm of the union of Bergamo, in July had put the warrant to enter, then part of the regional secretariat of the CGIL as coordinator of regional policies.

In its policy statement before the audience of the Board, before the vote, Breslin started a discussion on international economic trends: "In these processes reveals the fragility of our country, the fragility of the production system, many of dwarfism our businesses, the structural weaknesses of education, research, University. In recent years governments have cut where they were supposed to invest. "
And then he spoke of the difficulties of many enterprises, "and those targeting the domestic market are affected by the contraction in consumption and a slowdown in the construction and those projected in the international markets are affected by the high euro exchange rate against the dollar, despite there is an estate in demand from emerging countries and Asia. The problem in our country is that governments have worked to support consumption and income. All this is aggravated by the depression operation of the Berlusconi government. We have a duty to list the priorities in the right way: ask for a change the economic and fiscal policy of the Government to support the incomes of workers and retirees, not to start investment and cuts in school and in public health (this will be the focus of the event, 27 September) to reach a new contract model that corresponds to more and better to the needs of workers

On this second point, Bresciani, the conditions are not good. "The document of Confindustria's not good, nor is amendable. Ours is a no net plant of that document. To continue the negotiations must start again from the standard document. If Confindustria wants to plan a reduction of wages through the national contract we do not are available. E 'act in a crackdown against workers, against public employees in particular. "

On the situation of Bergamo, the new secretary general said: "We live in a world all its own. A strong company, from an economic standpoint, solid, but in the second quarter of 2008 saw a decrease of 2.6% of manufacturing output, exports nonetheless marked in the first four months of 2008, up 6.8 %. It 's a contradiction? No, it's a sign that there are areas to recover, here is a sign that there are companies that, despite everything, invest and innovate. Let some reasoning that while we do the role, too Notary often, associations representing large and small companies and the fate of industrial sites for companies in crisis. The assessment must be made on a case by case basis, but we must give priority to support the re-industrialization and the constraints of the target areas occupied by companies involved in the crisis, the sole and exclusive industrial use. Because of speculation on the areas we're seeing too many! And we can not turn a blind eye. Even faced with the fact that many municipalities toast when an industry goes away and the area becomes urbanized. This is the truth. We can not be called just to put their stamp on the layoffs and then see the most relevant industry to reason with the mayor to turn to change the intended use to their areas. "

Bresciani then drew the document signed May 20, 2008 with the other unions confederations: "With CISL and UIL have produced a document on development issues, employment and housing policies. There is a sincere effort to understand, analyze and make proposals on the changes, on the changes and crises in various sectors. There are unitary proposals on active employment policies, bargaining and bilaterality, the education system, the priorities in the field of health and social welfare, planning and negotiation on major infrastructural nodes of our province. It's all there in May 2008 and that document is an important part of my mission statement if only for the contribution, along with others, I have personally given for its completion. "

three fronts on which the CGIL Bresciani want to commit to an active investment policy and organization in the coming years: the expansion and qualification services, initiatives and policies for migrants, youth, women and the renewal of leaders. In particular the last point Bresciani asked the crowd of trade unionists to "be generous and disinterested, by making each one unique and affordable for common purposes of the CGIL. We have data on renewal rules and rules must be respected and I have every intention of enforcing them. "

The election ended around 14:00. Regarding preferences, the 71 voters have delivered 64 votes to Bresciani (which was the only bidder), 5 against and one abstention (plus a blank ballot).
