Up to 1 million people flooded the streets of the Italian capital, the organizers of the rally said. Up to 300,000 more participants were set to arrive in Rome throughout the day to take part in the protests, including a boat and two chartered planes from Sardinia.
CGIL, Italy’s biggest labor union, organized the march and rally in Piazza St. Giovanni, with many protesters carrying red balloons and waving red union banners.
Renzi eyes changing employee protection rules. In September the plan won backing from his party. Critics say the amendments would result in companies not hiring enough staff and creating the risks of chronic economic weakness.
"We want work for everyone, and work with rights. This is a demonstration for those without work, without rights, those who suffer, who have no certainties for the future," Susanna Camusso, head of the CGIL, addressed the protesters.
"If Renzi and his government have their antennas up, as they usually do, they will receive a very strong signal today which is that the majority of the people who work and who want to work in this country do not agree with their politics," Fiom union Secretary-General Maurizio Landini told Reuters TV.
"If he really wants to change this country he needs to do it with these people, not against us," he added.
Also fueling the public’s outrage is the austerity policies: increasing public spending cuts to cope with the EU budget restrictions.
Italy’s current employment rate is one of the lowest in the EU, standing at 55.7 percent in August, with joblessness among the youth at 44.2 percent.
The current demonstration follows a 24-hour air and ground transport strike. More disruptions are set to happen on November 14, when Alitalia and Easyjet staff will stage a walk-out, according to a statement published on the Italian Transport Ministry’s website.
The unions plan to hold another demonstration on November 8.......[PHOTOS RT]......http://rt.com/news

Roma, Cgil: “In piazza un milione di persone”. Camusso: siamo pronti alla sciopero generale....
ReplyDeleteLavoratori, studenti, pensionati, sindacalisti, ma anche un parte del Pd. Hanno sfilato nelle strade della Capitale per partecipare alla manifestazione indetta dalla Cgil contro le politiche del governo Renzi. In mano striscioni che raccontano storie di mobilità, cassa integrazione, precariato. Tanti gli slogan contro il premier: “Renzi pifferaio”, “Pd partito di destra” si legge su alcuni cartelli. Ad accompagnare il corteo l’immancabile “Bella Ciao”. Secondo gli organizzatori in piazza c’erano un milione di persone. «La giornata di oggi non è solo una fermata. La Cgil è pronta a continuare la sua protesta per cambiare il Jobs act e la politica di questo governo anche con lo sciopero generale», dice Susanna Camusso sul palco.
«Nessuno può dire in buona fede che licenziando le persone si crea occupazione. Evidentemente per Renzi l’articolo 18 è un’ossessione» ha incalzato dal palco la leader sindacale secondo cui quella di Renzi è «un’idea regressiva. Non si esce dalla crisi punendo il lavoro. Ci hanno provato altri, ma hanno fallito»...............http://www.lastampa.it/2014/10/25/italia/politica/roma-cgil-in-piazza-con-una-parte-del-pd-camusso-a-renzi-chiediamo-lavoro-e-diritti-DSTQ8m48Tj16TQI4qP7iEJ/pagina.html
