(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 10 - "We have to think about union unity with a different profile. The split of the trade unions in the 1950s took place on the basis of political affiliation in a world divided into blocks. That condition no longer exists.
And the reasons that led to that rupture can no longer be considered as an obstacle to the reconstruction of a unitary, democratic, plural trade union object ".
Thus the leader of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini.
A subject, he adds, "which can arise from below and can be realized by putting into practice an idea of a trade union founded on autonomy, democracy, participation, representation".
