Insurance For Window Fitters

strike of 28 January: announcement a farce? Some workers

metalworkers' strike of January 28 following several months the only strike (a well- 4 hours!) held so far by the FIOM-CGIL against the notorious "Marchionne plan." The strike of 28, in addition to being launched almost 20 days in advance (and thereby enabling businesses to recover pre-production lost), does not require stakes or "hard" to the gates of the factories, or detention of goods. If they are not workers to take the initiative themselves, bypassing the union bureaucracies, the so-called mobilization will be resolved in yet another farce (and a day of lost wages).

Meanwhile everyone's attention, aided by the media bombardment, focuses on the outcome of the referendum of Mirafiori (yes / no, legitimacy / legality not) as if by a consultation of this kind, whatever the final outcome of the vote, could emerge something different from the trivial penalty of balance of power. Power of the democratic mystification!
