Fuels, strike time has come; but the unions are split on duration
It started at 7pm yesterday, January 24ththe expected strike of the petrol stations against the transparency decree, which introduces the obligation to display a sign indicating the regional average price of fuel. The Minister of Enterprise Adolfo Urso until the end he had attempted mediation, summoning the managers, but the proposals for corrective measures and softer sanctions were of no avail. The trade union acronymshowever, yes they are split on the topic of duration of the strikedividing between those who have decided to reduce the protest from two to just one day and those who do not take steps back.
Indeed, Faib Confesercenti has decided to reduce the mobilization to one day; Fegica Figisc and Anisa instead confirmed the protest of 48 hours until 7 pm on Thursday 26 January: “Too little and too late to revoke the strike. The last-minute attempt made by Minister Urso, which is moreover appreciated, fails to intervene with the necessary concreteness”. Motorists, already yesterday, ran to the petrol stations so as not to run dry, given that the protest also includes self-service stations, both on the ordinary network and on the motorways.
The next meeting is set for February 8th.
Fuels, the strike started. The union meeting is in progress
And in the meantime it is underway today, January 25, the coordination meeting between the various category acronyms: “I am waiting for the government to summon us to present to us the proposed amendment they intend to carry forward. If in the afternoon if there were an opening by the government we are available to reduce the protest by 24 hours in the face of a commitment on their part to make us participate of a problem that concerns our category – said Bruno Bearzi, president in particular Fig–Confcommerce – We weren’t heroes during the toughest lockdown like we are not speculators now, we ask for restraint in these impromptu outings”.
“Lessons of transparency we do not take from anyone and we don’t want to be anyone’s scapegoat. The increases in recent days are due to excise duties and the international trend of the market and will continue to rise from February – added the president of the FegicaRoberto Di Vincenzo – We cannot continue to pass as the profiteers and those who have generated this price increase”, he continued.
