Tomorrow was to be held a general strike of public transport ... But there will be, this is because the current Minister of Transport, the Matteoli, has enlisted workers postponing it until a later date because "such action was necessary and urgent in order to prevent serious and irreparable harm to the constitutionally guaranteed right of free movement." He says this Matteoli verbatim in a statement that announced the postponement of the strike proclaimed by FILT-CGIL, CISL-Fit, Uiltrasporti, UGL Transport, Bear, and Fast-Faisa Confsal (practically all the most representative trade unions).
Apart from the trade unions, which have obviously complained, what strikes me is that no voice is raised in defense of the strike, an act that unduly compresses this fundamental right, the one whose exercise can enable workers to assert their legitimate claims.
It is obvious that the exercise of the right to strike in the transport sector involves inconvenience to public traffic, no one has ever dreamed of the contrary. But to say that the ineffable Matteoli said amounts to saying that the exercise of the right to breathe results in a serious and irreparable damage to the right to have the air polluted by carbon dioxide exhaled.
What kind of speech is? The Constitution states in Article 16 the right to free movement of citizens that can not be restricted for political reasons. The provision in the republican Constitution want to avoid, after the Fascist regime, one may adopt measures restricting personal freedom, such as confinement, which is used to neutralize political opponents. But what has this to do with the right to strike?
And even if it has something to do, it is normal that any strike involving some discomfort, and it is equally clear that there is a hierarchy of constitutional rights, which therefore allows a law assigns the exercise in front of another . Nobody has ever dreamed of questioning so self-evident truth, apart from this amazing minister. The strike, moreover, can compress other rights, but only for a very limited period of time. So where is the serious and irreparable damage? What would this strike different from the other strikes in the past have usually taken place without any minister intervened to stop the unlawful use by workers, the only tool that can enable them to make their voices heard? Of course nothing .
is clear that all of them are crap, camped just to do the one thing that this government can do: every time the frustrating legitimate claims of workers, pace of robbers and criminals, pardoned all too generously to save usually the principal. The criminals pardoned and remitted tax evaders, so those who have not harmed anyone, apart from civil society and the state.
This is the concept of justice and social progress of these people.
