What To Wear To Three Days Grace Concert

ROSARNO CPS Mantua, Milan, Ravenna ...

What has happened in Rosario saddens us and makes us angry, even if such an incident was prevesione easy. Many of us are from Calabria and not from the South and know very well the dynamics of our region: illegal spread, the roots of the mafia, the 'ndragheta and the Camorra, the underworld and the political relationship between politics and organized crime. After all, if many of us are in the north, away from their land, it is also the fault of the southern politicians more concerned to establish links with the mafia gangs who think the common good and the job opportunities for young people.
The revolt of migrants is nothing but an act of rebellion against oppression and this new form of slavery. Do not condone violence but today we can not scream our indignation toward what happened in Rosario. Our indignation is directed towards the institutions that do nothing against the illegal activities of mafia, prime fra tutte: prostituzione e schiavitù nel settore agricolo. Noi come insegnanti sentiamo sopra di noi un peso e mai come in questo caso ci sentiamo abbandonati nel nostro ruolo educativo; perchè se ancora oggi esistono schiavitù e soprusi, se ancora oggi si verificano situazioni di intolleranza diffusa, vuol dire che la Scuola ben poco è riuscita a fare per creare un clima di legalità e convivenza civile ma anche di cambiamento della cultura malavitosa e mafiosa. Se la Scuola fallisce nella propria opera anche lo Stato fallisce. Fra l'altro, abbiamo già affermato più volte, in passato, che l'idea del ministro Gelmini di inserire nelle scuole medie inferiori "Cittadinanza e Costituzione" come materia di studio è solo an unoriginal and not innovative because it already exists under another name among the disciplines taught. For us, this is just demagoguery, window-dressing that does not solve the problem lawlessness and intolerance. If you really want to focus on school as the reference point of society, as a defensive anti-mafia in some areas of the country and especially as the first place to practice and promote contact and understanding between peoples, we must invest more starting to reverse course on policies of staff reductions. If you do not do this, along with other measures and social laws, we will in a few months before many Rosarno. We must also say that the situation is no different from the South the North. If the "corporal" in fact, you call down mob, 'ndragheta and the Camorra, the North assumed names and different situations and sometimes exploited and underpaid are the multinational food. In any case, exploitation is always talking. We do not make it difficult to report that in our classes are studying the children of immigrants being exploited and underpaid. In this situation, we scream our indignation and outrage that our attitude is directed towards the feel-good, politically correct racist and political class who sits in parliament and especially to the Northern League that one side is ready for years to lash out with malice and racism towards migrants and on the other hand, endorse and is silent on illegal work in widespread species that regioni settentrionali. Ci sentiamo di porre una domanda a tutta la classe politica. "Come mai non si pongono regole contro il lavoro nero, sfruttato e sottopagato?" Secondo noi non serve un'economista o un sociologo per rispondere. Diciamolo chiaramente: un lavoratore sottopagato e non regolarizzato, conviene a tutti perché abbassa enormemente e mostruosamente il costo della manodopera e nelle regioni del Sud serve a "gonfiare" le casse economiche della malavita organizzata. A farne le spese sono quasi sempre i migranti. Siamo, allora, stanchi di sentire la classe politica parlare di illegalità collegata all'immigrazione clandestina, quando loro sono i primi a favorirla sottacendo e non facendo nulla per eliminare queste situazioni di schiavitù e soprattutto not recognizing the human rights of migrants and universal social, basic and essential. But we as teachers can not remain silent on this new form of slavery in the name of free markets and the mafia underworld is raging in the country from north to south We as teachers do not continue to discriminate in our classes, going beyond a demagogic, spreading even without the help of the state, the culture of legality, non-violence, the encounter between peoples and condemning all kinds of abuse and slavery.

Mathematics To Cutting Hair

Irresponsibility sociale dell'impresa

di Dino Greco - direttore di Liberazione

Nel suo lucido e non meno drammatico libro intitolato "Il lavoro non è una merce", Luciano Gallino, due anni fa, scriveva che «nell'oceano del lavoro, la tempesta deriva dall'aver messo in competizione tra loro, deliberatamente (il corsivo è mio), il mezzo miliardo di lavoratori del mondo che hanno goduto per alcuni decenni buoni salari e condizioni di lavoro, con un miliardo e mezzo di nuovi salariati che lavorano in condizioni orrende con salari miserandi». Oggi possiamo dire che questa concorrenza vigliacca e spietata è stata pienamente messa a profitto dal capitale nei "punti alti dello sviluppo", dove il quadro dei diritti individuali e collettivi, il sistema di protezione sociale e il diritto del lavoro sembravano costituire uno zoccolo sufficientemente solido da potersi considerare, una volta per tutte, acquisito. Quello che quotidianamente si palesa sotto i nostri occhi è che nulla è più certo e tutto è in discussione. Ed è proprio la grande impresa a rendersi protagonista della più radicale regressione dei rapporti sociali. Si pensi alla Fiat, che prende in ostaggio i lavoratori di tutti i propri stabilimenti per ottenere dallo Stato più risorse di quante ne abbia sin qui munte. O che dispone il fermo della produzione a Termini Imerese (già condannata alla chiusura), fintanto che i lavoratori della Delivery Email, cui è stata revocata la commessa, non cessino protest actions. Think of Alcoa, a multinational aluminum among the top three in the world, decided to close plants and Portovesne Fusina and to send two thousand workers to walk if she can not gain further discounts on already affordable energy prices. Think of the Novartis global pharmaceutical giant, which does not hesitate to discard (rather than absorb into organic) 24 of its employees, despite having made profits last year to one billion euro selling car in the vaccines antipandemia. Think of the thousands of workers cheated and abandoned by Eutelia and Phonemedia, both leaders in providing telemarketing services and telecommunications. Consider, again, the spread of forms of slave labor in rural southern and proliferation, a little 'everywhere, all sorts of precarious employment, lower pay, sottocontribuito, gray and black. And you think this is just the tip of the iceberg, because the map of abuses, large and small infamy suffered by male and female workers must be updated daily.
Who still felt, naively or intentionally, to explain that this is the post-Fordist modernity to which all that remains is to adapt, perhaps mitigating the impact of some palliative, it is necessary to go back to say that no, there is nothing objective in this state of affairs. And it is the result of the devastating one-sidedness with which the capitalist mode of production has emerged - without counterweight and alternative - the entire planet. We must recognize, with that bit of arrogance that ragged usurious Italian bourgeoisie has drawn from its worst story, enhanced by a policy drift that has encouraged the excessive power and defects. Today, moreover, no longer dares to think of the "social responsibility". That lies inert in Article 41 of the Constitution. Indeed, the only tried to contain a certain Adriano Olivetti, many decades ago. In the sad parable of his company lives - the philosopher would say - the nemesis of Italian capitalism. Luciano Gallino commented yet, disheartened, that "to say that the policy of the last decade has dramatically underestimated the condition of labor is held well below the lines. " It may be added along that slippery slope that has really started to roll down much earlier. And the engine of the same long-run trade unions, when it turns to a single cylinder. Now that the race has gained momentum seems to be no more brake.
From tomorrow, the PRC, in its National Assembly, will try to pull at least some thread of the complicated skein.

Viral Infection Andnumb Legs

Parte la campagna regionale "Il Lavoro Mobilita"


The Federation of the Left in the Emilia-Romagna organized in the territories of our region to collect signatures to support four proposals to combat the crisis: the blocking of licenziamenti ; per l’ estensione degli ammortizzatori sociali anche ai lavoratori che non ne fruiscono; per la restituzione dei finanziamenti regionali e locali da parte delle imprese che delocalizzano; per l’introduzione, anche nella nostra regione, del reddito sociale per i disoccupati e gli inoccupati.

Domenica 17 e 24 saremo in Piazza della Repubblica, dalle 10 alle 12, per spiegare le nostre proposte e raccogliere le firme.
