precarious
A trip to the deprecarizzazione
Mauro Atzei
After journey lasted nine months (a real human gestation), September 13, 2007 ceased the relevant time limits for submitting applications for participation in public tender for the stabilization of one hundred and twenty temporary workers under the City of Cagliari. A
tell it, in just three little lines it does not seem to have been a large undertaking. Imagine instead, how difficult it was for us regional shipyard workers (employees employed under fixed-term contracts at the technical and administrative offices of the City of Cagliari, but subsidized with funds from the Reg.Aut. Sardegna), real ghosts of local authorities who had difficult even to form a group of "two" just for a beer or coffee. Oh yes! The key to the whole story revolves around this problem: we were not ever united, we did not know each other, elbowing to waste our time to win back from time to time to maturity, a new contract, possibly at the expense of closer links in the list, because the mechanism of alternation never guarantee a place at all simultaneously. A fight between the poor. This perverse system, crafted by the leaders of the municipal administration, allowed the company to have full-time workers, but with fixed-term contracts at no cost, eager to work and be unemployed as little as possible and prone to servility , and a little annoying at union claims and their rights as employees. Our being ghosts, as often happens between the precarious, she also distinguished herself, in having few rights compared to what my fellow members, however, accept the role. For example, for those who held the position of technical: no service vehicles to perform their duties (visits in the various sites scattered around the city) and your own car, without fuel reimbursements, etc. .., no cell phone to coordinate the custodians and workers (phone essential, always at our expense), in many cases, no office and no desk on which to perform the various administrative (compile lists pays employees, daily compilation book of work, compiling the book, loading and unloading materials, etc ...) , no computers, of course; no training or technical update, nothing extraordinary. For colleagues who held the position of guardians and / or workers was often even worse: no bathroom to perform their physiological needs in the yards of open custody, and very often not even a roof to shelter from the weather.
If you were lucky, after a long term contract to seven or eight months you could take advantage of an extension of six or seven months, or a single month in more unfortunate cases.
regard to my personal experience, I must admit that after the expiry of my first employment with the city of Cagliari. elapsed between 1994 and 1996, I had no hope of being recalled for a new contract, In fact, those were the years, the darkest of my life precarious. Outside of public administration, part of the collaboration entirely in black, I could not find any alternative that could guarantee a decent income, and also the added problem of my family. In 1995 I got married and my daughter Camilla was born in 1997 in which they are proud. Well, time passed and no call came not from the town, although I was the first in the list of assistants construction industry experts. I did not know how to make ends meet, plus my wife after ten years spent working without a contract in a laboratory for chemical analysis of the faculty of engineering hydraulic University of Cagliari, had definitively ceased his employment. He then opened the roads of emigration to other countries. Having now become pretty good with computers, we opted for the Netherlands. It was not hard to find good work in Amsterdam, plus I knew the city well enough to have visited it a few years ago, although my English was not as sparkling as the case may require, plus the presence of a small child was not conducive to things, and more seriously, find an apartment for us to live now in all three cities, was an incredibly difficult undertaking.
So we went back to Cagliari, and while I was going to leave again, this time alone, small den and a heavy heart, looking for a hole to live in, saving the City the call came after four years of absolute silence.
Since that time, from January 2000 to February 2007, could return to work, albeit intermittently, in the technical construction of the City of my town. Of course the problems were always the same and always fixed-term contracts and the damn afraid to spend four or more years without a call. It 's true, our work is holding up entire offices and technical tasks that were now seen countless financial past without it being was made a contest and only one assumption, and while the staff role was going to retire ....
Meanwhile, the center-left won the elections and the 2007 national budget, provided that all those who had served in the PA for 36 months in the last five years, should be directed towards stabilization. But this was temporary for us, just a hope.
the afternoon of January 24, leaving from work I heard a word of mouth, "the city council meeting tonight to Via Roma." An adviser of the PRC and the territorial secretary of the CGIL already there waiting for us in the hallway on the third floor, we were thirty, all very curious but totally unaware of what would happen shortly thereafter. This claim was the stabilization of the workplace. But between us, not everyone knew the new financial reporting in this respect, there was an uproar because they fear the ushers were opposed to our attempts to enter, we wanted a meeting with the mayor to talk about our future, but the mayor was absent, so after an hour of chaos, screams and whistles deputy mayor agreed to talk to us. He told us that they would set a city council to discuss our case and left. From that day onwards, the meetings to review and multiplied slowly becoming increasingly aware of our ability and our strength. The meetings were never less than fifty. It was in one of these meetings that I became aware of the danger of a rift between the construction workers and other workers with more jobs available, especially those protected by the resolutions of guarantees. So I started trying to hold together my colleagues more involved in all the initiatives agreed upon with the union and making me even load to keep them constantly updated on what was happening. In fact, the twists were still there: - first the policy statements of the Mayor supporting the stabilization of some unstable, then the Mayor announcing the sensational accounts of the hole in the budget, then the national budget that prevented all municipalities had breached the Stability Pact to hire new workers and thus to stabilize the precarious and finally to the staff that the commissioner summoned the confederal unions to propose a register of workers to take any services from supplying firms to the town of Cagliari .- Meanwhile, both I and my colleagues we felt as if immersed in a surreal sort of nightmare: a fearsome ogre we constantly handed the coveted steak, but when the railroad if the resumed.
On February 26, 2007, by Law No 17 went into effect, the "Decree Milleproroghe" that took everyone by any embarrassment and freed the town of Cagliari from all sanctions imposed until then for the violation of the Stability Pact. Enough excuses and end of captious political designs. It would have been possible to recruit and stabilize precarious, with workers concerned were there under the town hall, every single day to stress. But it was not so easy. And time flew. On April 20, 2007, during the first municipal council in which we had the opportunity to be present, the majority of councilors from the pulpit took turns arguing that the precarious within the municipal administration, were not more than three. In a flash, an uproar broke out, we employed exasperated by the long and unnecessary waiting in the stands of the council chamber pulled out of the protest banners and Chairman of the Board suspended the session. Tempers ran high, discontent grew vehement and intervened traffic police. The square below was now swarming with precarious, flew screaming and nervousness increased dramatically. Most of them were now determined to fill the hall throughout the night. At one point, the tension went up to the limit, the commissioners filed away in search of retreat, then a colleague exaggerated, staged an argument with the Assessor's staff responded verbally intervened so our union representative, the fact that, incredibly led to verge on the physical confrontation with the Assessor. Fortunately, the soul seems to die down and we walked all around a table to clarify the ideas quickly. On that occasion, the commissioner responsible his own room availability the junta to negotiate with the parties to establish a path of stabilization, but only for the benefit of persons eligible under the 2007 national budget law. Nevertheless, union is established between the Department and a tireless bit of resentment. From that moment on I was at the invitation of the Secretary of the CGIL territorial fp, the pleasure of witnessing as an auditor in all dealings between the public and trade union confederations. However, the situation did not seem to want to unlock. The city council continued in an attempt to circumvent our expectations and the public to remain ignorant of what happened. So, to urge the City Council to approve a declaration of intent to want to stabilize the over one hundred temporary workers, it took yet another demonstration on the part of the now very thick group of workers and their families, and April 24 we decided, in the midst of a very boring and self-indulgent meeting of the City Council of to break in the council. Tension in the stars, pushing, screaming, fainting, ambulance and broken pots, with the municipal police who rose up to bulwark the door of the building. Also happened that four police cars, a living hell. The day after the affair ended in all the newspapers, also spoke of even the television, and the city council could no longer avoid a decision by a standard document which marked the start the gradual stabilization of all temporary workers on construction sites and not within the three-year plan for recruitment. It was April 26. That same day, ended in Cagliari on the mall in front of the Bastion St Remy, the march organized by PRC for the work in the presence of Franco Giordano (also went to meet him at the airport) who urged the council to conclude as soon the process of our stabilization. And we were all down there to applaud. The 31st May
the measure was approved with a budget amendment precarious sub name, inscribed in the budget and voted unanimously. With the subsequent bargaining
held within two months, Finally, the dispute ended with the announcement of the publication of the notice of competition that will bring in about one hundred twenty three years to stabilize precarious workers in the city of Cagliari.
E 'come October, the ban expired in September, the selection procedures have not yet been completed and now we're all still insecure ... but satisfied, mindful of having fought together for a common and sacred right. On October 20 thanks to the "I Precarious" Sardinia, to which I belong, most of us will be in Rome for the big event for the work yet to scream: "STOP INJUSTICE, THE WORK 'RIGHT, NO preload ! I
