REGULARISATION
For the past few days we have been confronted with one of the most extensive and difficult regularisation campaigns for non-EU workers in our history. It is difficult in terms of its size but above all because of the cultural climate and the Ministry of the Interior’s explicit design to mitigate its effects. We have already denounced the most odious and perverse effects of the security campaigns and the xenophobic climate imposed from above. We have endeavoured to criticise this regularisation and, above all, oppression (starting from the expenses) which these workers and families, as well as the companies that employ them, will be subjected to. We have succeeded in doing so alone and this is an added value, but we have also started a specific campaign with the CGIL which intends to be both organisational and communicative of certain values. CGIL has within its genetic make-up the capacity to achieve concrete things (the regularisation procedures) while at the same time contribute to directing the position of a part of the Italian society. This campaign will enable us to have mass contact with people who need our help and protection and must also become a useful and necessary opportunity to contrast the hatred towards migrants. It is for this reason that we have decided to construct an integrated system of communication and events which to update in real time our structures, workers and delegates as well as public opinion. The operational instruments will be represented by the use of our websites, which we will manage in a coordinated manner and by a series of news, which will be differentiated in accordance with the intended recipient. In addition, we also intend to gauge levels of response through the use of mobile phones (including less technologically advanced models) to reach the greatest number of people through multi-lingual text messages
