Fair compensation must be recognized at work and this battle must be a priority: the candidate for governor of Lombardy for the center-left and M5S Pierfrancesco Majorino wanted to thank Ornella Casassa in a video message, the construction engineer who in a video that went viral
said she had refused an underpaid job
at 900 euros gross, not enough to pay the rent, and she wondered where the left is.
"I totally agree with you - said the Pd MEP -, you did well and I believe that your complaint" should "be what we start from. and you are right to say 'where is the left?'".
According to Majorino, "either the left starts again from here... Congresses and non-congresses, discussions, chats make no sense. So I think we must all take responsibility for a great leap in quality in terms of full wage recognition for work that does not it must be impoverished for the new generations, but that's not all. I think we have to really commit ourselves".
"So thanks Ornella, if I may give you a personal address - he concluded -, thanks for the strong message you sent and I think we must insist in this direction".
