Today in Rome, UNISON Italian sister union CGIL is mounting a national demonstration for “the future of our youth and work”. Hundreds of thousands will attend the march to demand more rights and more democracy. Other demands are for more equality and justice to get out of the crisis. Another aspect of the march is to denounce the terrible living and working condition of many migrant workers in Italy. Here you can read the CGIL leaflet in English

This follows 8 national protests since September 2008 and a major national demonstration last month by CGIL’s engineering section. Pressure is mounting in Italy for a general strike in protest at the Berlusconi Government’s failure to change economic course:
