The situation of the Sumud Global Flotilla, victim of several attacks by Israel, and the unexpected and great success of the mobilization and strike day of December 22, convened by the ports of Genoa along with its USB union (base union union), have finally led to an agreement for a general strike day also shared by the main Italian union, the CGIL. In communications and assemblies promoted by the union, the motto is: “Let’s prepare for the general strike of October 3!” The official call will take place tomorrow morning (Italian time). This is how the Regional Union Assemblies are gathering, calling thousands of leaders and delegates of the workplaces, to discuss the need for strike and mobilization appointments of these days. However, it is essential that a unit be created among the workers themselves, beyond the agreements between the union leaders. This cannot happen if the union leaders remain the only ones with the ability to convene massive and effective manifestations.
