The opposition of the trade unions continues against the school reform bill which, after passing through the House, will be submitted to the Senate for consideration next week. The secretariats of Flc Cgil, Cisl Scuola, Uil Scuola, Snals Confsal and Gilda Fgu have, in fact, announced a "Strike in the first hour of service for all ballots on each of the first two days of operations".
The strike, "the dates of which are identified in relation to the calendar adopted by each individual school" is an exception as regards "the final classes of the study cycles", i.e. eighth grade and last year of high school. In addition to the strike, there will also be parallel initiatives such as "Culture in the square", on Friday 5 June starting at 21 pm, with simultaneous torchlight processions in all the main Italian cities.
For the unions, the bill “leaves many of its most obvious critical issues have not been resolved and does not respond to the requests that are the basis of a mobilization shared and participated by the entire school world", and ask for "a recruitment plan that cannot be limited only to those included in the Gae".
The unions, then, are against the "power of managers to assign tasks to teachers through direct calls from local registers" and "to the evaluation of teachers with arbitrary criteria and the establishment of commissions lacking the necessary skills" and ask for "the regulation by contract of all matters that have repercussions on regulatory and wages and salaries of the employment relationship".
“You can always discuss and improve but the real thing is that this country is back on track”. With these words the premier Matteo Renzi commented the bill on the School, trying to dampen the controversy: "Things are done, the laws are approved and then of course the discussions, the different evaluations, but I am very confident", confirmed the premier.
Renzi then underlined that “After years there is finally an investment in school building after years there are one hundred thousand precarious workers who are hired. And then you can always discuss and improve”.
