The Cgil assembly, the small parliament of the confederation of Corso d’Italia, was called to vote en bloc on the proposal formulated by the general secretary, Maurizio Landini, of the new ten-member secretariat, which was approved by secret ballot with 142 votes in favor, 77 votes against, 2 null ballots and 9 abstentions for a total of 230 voters out of 287 entitled to vote.
The departure of Francesca Re David
On the agenda was the replacement of Francesca Re David, who left the confederal secretariat on July 24 due to reaching the age limits (she remains involved in the table with the 14 employer associations on the definition of the new contractual model and the criteria for measuring representation). With Re David’s departure, the secretariat was composed of seven members (including Landini, four men and three women). Secretary Landini proposed – through three new entries – to restore gender parity at the top of the union.

The secretary’s proposal and the reasons for the “no”
The choice of a “strengthened” secretariat – Landini explained – is motivated by the difficult challenges the union faces, the commitment to mobilizations such as the national demonstration on October 17 called in Rome by the coalition “La via maestra” – with a platform ranging from the defense of the Constitution, peace, quality work and wages -, the collection of signatures on popular initiative bills on health and contracts, the mobilizations on the 2027 budget.
Behind the numerous votes against and abstentions there are several reasons; the discontent is linked to Landini’s choice to strengthen the secretariat to ten members, and the request to proceed with a vote for each new member of the secretariat (instead of approval en bloc) was rejected.
