Guaranteed income through a guaranteed average wage for all unemployed; for free and universal access to social services and for a single system of social safety nets that guarantees effective continuity of income and wages;
Contrasting precariousness and exploitation, repeal of the Jobs Act, overcoming of contracts and contractual dumping and strong contrast to the indiscriminate use of precarious contracts;
Relaunch of public investments in education, health and transport, against the privatization, commodification and dismantling of essential public services, fundamental sectors, public utility and infrastructures; against projects of differentiated autonomy and current forms of regionalization, for the equality of rights and services throughout the national territory;
For a true trade union democracy, against the monopoly of concertative trade union organizations, to give workers the power to decide who should represent them; for the right to strike and the repeal of any repressive legislation that undermines its trust and effectiveness, starting with the Salvini decree;

For the protection of immigrant workers and for the residence permit for all immigrants;

• the worker can join any protest even though he is not a member of the trade union organization that proclaimed or joined the strike.
