From press reports we have learned that there has been an agreement between the Municipality of Taranto and confederal unions for the expansion of the service in municipal nurseries - But for us auxiliary and cleaning workers there are few hours left and very low wages

To us workers we guarantee services, hygiene of environments, protection of children's health, the response of the Municipality, a few weeks ago it was instead that no real increase in working hours, And therefore of the salary, there will not be even in the future, - at most the timetable daily 3 hours and 30, will be increased by another half hour - this Although we decreased, going from 82 to the current 68, while the services, workloads have increased and we are forced to do activities as 50 years ago, without the suitable equipment, paying all this also with health.

We of the Slai Cobas for some time has asked:

internalization of the service and therefore of the workers; It is a service permanent, structural, without which kindergartens cannot work:

increase in working hours, bringing them at least 5 hours a day and 30 per week; increase in wages;

end of each suspension period;

equipment mechanical and electric for cleaning, for safety/health purposes For us workers and a guarantee of effective hygiene for children.

N The day of March 8th a We are made strike and garrison to the Municipality because it is on us women - that in kindergartens we are 99% of the staff - who This exploitation is downloaded. And for us women this condition is to basis of our general condition of double exploitation, oppression, violence.

So now, no illusion, we will resume the struggle!
