Bombardieri's Uil is always in Landini's wake, denying its secular tradition, but what's the point of a union like this?

Bombardieri has long transformed the Uil into a blind servant of Landini's Cgil, hoping that gregariousness will yield him a future, which is actually unlikely. But who and what use is a Uil reduced to this?

Cgil and Uil will meet the prime minister Giorgia Meloni on November 4th on the economic maneuver but it will be a useless meeting because they have already decided to take to the streets again on November 28th with a strike general strike of 8 hours. It is the third strike against this Government but it is unlikely that it will lead to any results. Partly because Cgil and Uil are climbing up the mirrors and manipulating the data to deny that theemployment grows and precariousness is decreasing, as the numbers from Istat and Inps show. And a little because the real battle that a serious union should fight, that is, against the low wages they do not do it through negotiations with the counterparts but they think of placing it entirely on the state coffers. For this reason they ask to continually raise the bar of the tax wedge cut and of the decontribution and they would like raise taxes beyond the Irpef to those who already pay them to allocate resources that are not there today to pensions, healthcare, infrastructure and so on and so forth. This is the plan that the secretary of the Cgil has been carrying forward for years, Maurizio Landini, which has transformed the union into a political opponent with an eye on what it will do when in two years it will no longer be renewable in Corso d'Italia. However, what is surprising is the fact that the Uil of Pierpaolo Bombardieri has completely renounced its secular tradition of a union that seeks mediation and honorable compromises to make agreements with the Government and with businesses and has now crouched at Landini's feet, thinking that the most absolute gregariousness will ensure its future. But what is the point of a union like this? If it always blindly agrees with Landini's eccentricities even at the cost of causing divisions upon divisions with the Cisl, which in fact will not strike, why should a worker still join the Uil and not directly the Cgil? How far away are the times when the socialist George Welcome he had made the Uil a modern, united and dynamic union that today Bombardieri is guiltily doing everything to erase.
