(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 18 - After the general strike of CGIL and UIL, the CISL takes to the streets today alone, with a demonstration on Saturday, in the sign of "responsibility" and cohesion. Not the "sterile conflict". On Monday afternoon, all three unions will be at Palazzo Chigi for the meeting with the government and Prime Minister Mario Draghi on pensions. A first table that they ask to start the process of reforming the Fornero law. From piazza Santi Apostoli in Rome, under the slogan "For development, for work, for social cohesion.

Responsibility in the streets ", the general secretary of the CISL, Luigi Sbarra, returns to distance himself from the choice of Cgil and Uil on the general strike, says no to the" political and trade union populism "with which reforms have never been made or workers' conditions improved And relaunches his message: "The country needs cohesion and unity. Not of sterile conflict.

This is not the moment in which we can be satisfied with being against ". A square, therefore, not against - he repeats - but to enhance the results already achieved on the maneuver - on health resources, social safety nets, bills, reductions for income up to 35 thousand euros and the increase in the no tax area for pensioners - and to improve it further during the parliamentary process, remarked Sbarrar, acknowledging Prime Minister Draghi that he "proved capable of listening, he has undertaken to open the tables on the crucial issues of the tax authorities and pensions ". The need is to bring confrontation and dialogue forward, to indicate" the new priorities "of the social agenda, to build a new development model and to affirm the profile of" a responsible, constructive,participatory who wants to stay within the processes of change ". Trade union unity? With Cgil and Uil," the rupture is profound ", now" there is a lot of clarity to be done, on the contents and on the model of trade union that is needed in this phase in our country ". However," the objectives of the unitary platforms remain ". Starting with pensions. On this the trade unions ask to start the discussion to reform the Fornero law and introduce flexibility in leaving from the age of 62 or with 41 years of contributions. Which" are enough to enjoy the sacrosanct right to a pension ", which is not a luxury or a privilege, but a fundamental right, remarks Sbarra dalpalco. They ask to build a guarantee pension for young people" trapped between pure contributions and precarious and discontinuous careers "and adequate solutions for women, recognizing an extra year of contributions for each child, to render the social Ape structurally and extend the fourteenth to retirees. They say no to a possible hypothesis of recalculation of the pension (for 'mixed' cases), which would produce a cut of up to more than 30% of the gross allowance, notes the CGIL with an analysis by the Social Security Observatory.

The meeting on Monday, confederal secretary Roberto Ghiselli affirms, will be an opportunity "to understand if there is actually a willingness on the part of the government to initiate a real confrontation with the trade union and not simply listening, with the aim of overcoming the rigidity of the Fornero law ".
