Rome, October 17: Shareholders United Against Crisis - Final Document 
A ' partecipatissima meeting with dozens of operations. Following the final motion, adopted by acclamation at the end of the assembly
18 / 10 / 2010
Today October 17, in the faculty of political science wisdom has held a great assembly, which took part from all over Italy, many school and university students and mobilization of the academies, researchers and structured precarious, temporary schools and research institutions, community centers, movements in defense of common goods and the right to housing. The speakers were also many members of the union, including the secretary of the FIOM - the CGIL and Maurizio Landini segrtario of FLC - CGIL Domenico Pantaleo.
The common point of view emerged from the subjects who participated in the recording was the great success of the event and the fact that the Fiom from October 16 has resulted in Italy the possibility of reopening a new phase of opposition to the crisis. The determination of metalworking has been intertwined with the movements and demands that have driven in recent years the social conflicts in our country. Students, temporary workers, movements in the commons and in defense of the welfare state, have put together a mixed picture but that is common relaunched with new tools and with the launch of a new trial. In this sense, the appeal against the United crisis, which is reflected by this assembly, was taken as a starting point and an indication to be pursued in the belief that it is precisely the social effects of crisis and the political use that the government and the Confederation of them are doing, they pose the problem of reconstruction as necessary and not put off.
The global crisis caused by financial speculation, in fact, that more and more like you are describing structural and not temporary, is affecting the rights, wages, social policy, and systematically looting the commons, from labor to knowledge, resources environment. This crisis rather than causing a radical rethink of the development model, has rather exacerbated the conditions that have caused it. The response of governments and economic elites has been a sharp acceleration of processes already in place for at least three decades, tied neoliberal globalization: the privatization of public services, attacks on workers' rights, increase inequalities. In Italy in particular, there was an indiscriminate cutting of resources for school, university and health perpetrated by authoritarian policy and business in all areas, places of work-in-training. This attack is justified by the rhetoric of austerity: indeed the huge military expenditures reveals how this rhetoric is completely false and unfounded.
The crisis is not only economic but also political. The attack on the rights of workers, in particular the right to strike and collective bargaining, as well as the redefinition sense of authoritarian governance in the universities provide a framework in which government and Confindustria would close all the spaces of democracy, blocking any form of expression of social conflict. The case of Pomigliano, is indicative of a new form of command that makes the whole production to the demands of daily life, which is forced to bend under blackmail. It is no coincidence that one of the blackmail has become the pradigma on which it was founded in recent years, the job insecurity that has involved primarily the new forms of employment and now extends to the entire labor market. Rethinking democracy in this context therefore, means first of all to rethink the possibility of dissent, extension of the forms of struggle, while imagining the forms of participation and shared construction of alternative routes, with practices of direct democracy to places of work and training.
The crisis finally produced its first consequence the fundamental division and fragmentation of the social subjects and productive. Individualism, competition, fear the effects are more 'immediate economic strategies of government and produce. But already the experience of these two days indicates to us a great opportunity for the movements, trade unions and associations: we need to reconstruct, if we are divided, to imagine a common pathway, whereas it is proposed loneliness. United against the crisis means to imagine this set of possibilities, creating a connection mechanism of struggle also different. This process of social construction of relations between subjectivity, even more so after the big day yesterday, today is already in place. This is to implement it daily in the construction and investigate the potential. United the crisis is an experiment in opposition to the crisis and establishment of a new future.
There are so many school and university students who animated the meeting. The law 133/2008, the DDL Gelmini, but the law also opens on schools, provides the overall framework of dismantling public education. Divestment, privatization and destruction of the quality of knowledge have been made strategically by the government, which has sugellato decades of reform school and university. Poverty, unemployment and insecurity are the conditions under which an entire generation of productive people is submitted. Already since the wave students have started a process of transformation of the university, returning to its customary knowledge and imagining the opening of a public debate involving all actors in the construction of an alternative . But the demonstrations of recent weeks have come to life by the statement of the unavailability of researchers to submit to the blackmail of unpaid work, have again seen involved many students in schools and universities. It 's a fact that the vote on the bill Gelmini from this widespread opposition has been postponed to a future date. But so far the universities and schools will continue to mobilize for reform unwelcome return to the sender and ask that education is financed seriously.
opportunity in this important sense, is launched from the date of the temporary school for the next in Naples on Oct. 30 but that the school and university students will step up the territory. As well as the mobilization of international and European November 17 (the territories). A symbolic date to be filled content and practices, from claiming that open access to knowledge, funding and quality of knowledge directly to the international level. We will cross the demonstration called by the CGIL November 27 in Rome.
The crisis we are experiencing is also an environmental and energy policies. Out of the crisis means to imagine a development model that is sustainable. From this point of view the strategies of European governments and not just blind shall respect the climate crisis and the environment, demonstrating a complete inability 'to give adequate responses, so' as shown by the Copenhagen Summit. The meeting in Cancun is in this sense to shoot and raise.
The need to build general battle also goes by the defense of common goods, for the removal of key areas of contemporary society to the domain of profit for the reconstruction of public spaces for collective experience. Just as crucial are the struggles that have been expressed in recent years against the construction of public works and unwanted imposed from the communities that live in the territories. For this reason December 4 female students and students, and employees, citizenship, participate in the regional mobilizations called by the water movements to demand a moratorium on the management of water services and until the outcome of 2011 referendum .
The problem of the crisis - yet - it seems that unequivocally raise a social issue, which is also a generational issue: insecurity is the only form taken by the Employment Relations and the amount of discipline in our daily lives. The alternative to the exploitation and war between the poor is constructed in the fight against radical precariousness of labor relations and the vindication of a new welfare state. Autonomy and freedom are central themes on which to build a big political battle, vertenziale which runs on the local territories activating new forms of social bargaining and collettva, building networks that link the players association, trade union and movement. need to build a great campaign claiming a universal welfare system capable of establishing a common front between different subjects. Welfare universal means first claim an income of citizenship for temporary workers. The defense now has to pay more and more composed with the ability to guarantee freedom of choice to the people, the real possibility of being able to refuse the blackmail of insecurity. This idea will need to put in place political campaigns, and cultural, national, as well as at local level. On these points dirimenti to rethink a new political phase, and a new lexicon will need to think of a time-depth seminar for late November involving all those who have given birth all'assembea today.
why we believe it is very important that as of yesterday has opened the debate in Italy on general strike. We believe that the general strike is a decisive step towards the consolidation and generalization of the struggle. We believe at the same time that the issue of generalization should be reopened in the light of the extraordinary is happening in France these days. not a symbolic strike, but an indefinite general strike, general and generalized and can actually block a whole country involving trade unions and the new generations. Precisely in the direction of the path to building concrete the strike, the Assembly today to launch on December 11 a national day of protest economic policies of the government to demand the convening of the general strike and widespread.
To conclude: in July 2011 will be ten years from the great days of the G8 in Genoa . We believe that the commemoration of Genoa is not simply a matter of memory, but is primarily a tension that we must recover. A capacity of discourse and collective construction of another idea of \u200b\u200bsociety. Therefore, we invite everyone to open an argument in view of July 2011, to build in the territories and in social places, to try to bring that spirit to the streets, that tension, that desire to innovate.
