In Rome, up to a million people went to protest against labor reform

In the capital of Italy Rome, about a million people who arrived from all over the country came to a demonstration against labor reform, the largest trade union of the CGIL country, who acted as the organizer of the action, said.

Reforms introducing a lightweight dismissal procedure were proposed by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who is looking for ways to increase the competitiveness of national companies.

According to Reuters , among the protesters were representatives of the Renzi party, which indicates a serious discussion on this issue.

Renzi proposes, in particular, to introduce a lightweight procedure for dismissing employees in companies, as well as a system for providing guarantees and benefits only for those employees who have worked for a certain period.

“We want work for everyone, working with a guarantee of rights. This is a demonstration for those who do not have a job, there is no right for those who suffer, who do not have certainty regarding the future,” said CGIL, Suzanne Kamusso. (Quote for "Interfax" .)

Maurizio Landini, representative of the Metallist Union (FIOM), who also joined the action, Reuters TV: “If Renzi and his government are configured, as it usually happens, they will receive a very strong signal today that most people who work and want to work in this country do not agree with their politics. If he wants to change this country, then it is necessary to do this not against people, but together with people, but together with people them ".

Another protest is scheduled for November 8.
