A protest outside the Electrolux plant in Susegana
Susegana, the announcement of the Rsu Fiom led by Augustin Breda: “The government cannot impose the obligation of the Green pass if there is no vaccination obligation”. CGIL distances itself: “Autunoma initiative of the RSU, we are in favor of the Green pass”. Botter (Fiom): “Free tampons and vaccination obligation”
SUSEGANA. Susegana’s Electrolux workers ready to strike to protest against the obligation of Green Pass for employees. The initiative starts from historical exponent of the RSU of Fiom CGIL, Augustin Breda: «Our strike as workers is necessary, we are considering a protest for the next few days. We have not read the decree yet, and we are waiting to see the details, but we find it unacceptable to force workers to do something (the vaccine) that the law does not oblige them to do ». Breda also speaks of “Vaccines still classified as experimental”, even if he then adjusts his game: «I am in favor of vaccines and I believe they are giving a big hand in containing the epidemic. But for a democratic state a decree like the one I am reading about is not good. It is one of the worst anti-democratic tests of the postwar period ».
It is not the first anti-Green pass protest at Electrolux: at the end of August a group of workers without a green certificate occupied the canteen of the Susegana plant, and went on strike for the time necessary to take advantage of the lunch break at home.

On very different positions, however, the Fiom Cgil Treviso, with the secretary Enrico Botter. Which does not respond directly to Breda, but merely observes that “we are there for the Government to fully assume the political responsibility that belongs to it and therefore it comes to the vaccination obligation“. Botter continues: «The protection of public health goes beyond any logic or individual interest. At the same time we believe that at this stage the obligation of the Green pass is accompanied by a transitional phase in which the tampon is free. To close then we believe that the question of the quarantine not paid by INPS must be resolved. The tracking system must be supported and not hindered ».
Even the general secretary of CGIL Treviso, Mauro Visentin, he had already expressed himself in favor of the Green pass: «I am in favor of the provision, with all the exceptions of the case. Susegana’s is an autonomous initiative of Electrolux’s Rsu. A possible strike will not be a decision taken by the CGIL ».
