The government [Renzi government] and Confindustria just want to turn work into a commodity, as it was in the 19th century.

More quotes by Maurizio Landini

The historical, political and partisan reasons that led to the division between Italian trade unions no longer exist. Today, we can start a new process of unity between CGIL, CISL and UIL.

If you want to respect the Constitution, you must not close the ports, but rather the headquarters of Casapound and prevent groups that promote fascism from forming.

(About the Renzi government) Renzi must acknowledge that he does not have the support of honest people, workers and those seeking employment.

We have no other tool than to ask people to take to the streets with us and fight [...] I believe that the time has come for a real social uprising because we cannot go on like this.

The attack on the headquarters of the CGIL trade union is an act of fascist violence. It is a genuine attack on democracy and the entire world of work, which we intend to reject with force. No one should think of returning our country to the twenty years of fascism.
