00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:02,105
Italy 2014

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Despite the economic crisis, the logistics 
sector has suceeded in making profits:

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
through the hyper-
exploitation of migrants.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Of all places, it is here that an 
unexpected resistance is emerging.

5
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,280
You see? PosteItaliane, 
they're going to SDA

6
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,595
We are opressed, underpaid
the trucks are unsafe;

7
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
The wages aren't paid, 
no-one cares

8
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,500
They do whatever they want.
We work twelve hours

9
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,120
and they don't even 
pay us for four.

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200
He also tried to invite 
girls out for dinner.

11
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,160
Some agreed, 
others didn't.

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,360
The girls who refused, 
he cancelled their shifts

13
00:01:03,553 --> 00:01:07,191
or sent them to a different workplace.

14
00:01:07,753 --> 00:01:12,241
No, we were fed up.

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
The news that there had 
been successful strikes

16
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,000
that a new militant rank-and-file union 
called SI Cobas had been established

17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160
spread like wildfire.

18
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,800
I've been talking about it 
with the girls since 2012

19
00:01:27,011 --> 00:01:31,300
because I'd heard about this union
called SI Cobas.

20
00:01:32,146 --> 00:01:36,600
We asked friends, 
they said the SI Cobas helps.

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,360
The only union that defends 
the worker is them.

22
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,800
Become members, because 
with them things will get going.

23
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
They won't let you down.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Mafia, Mafia!

25
00:01:52,392 --> 00:01:55,404
Wrong payslips!
Wrong, wrong!

26
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,999
Strike! Strike!

27
00:02:18,628 --> 00:02:27,752
We opened a bottle and it was like
a liquid that wanted to explode,

28
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
when we uncorked 
the bottle, it exploded

29
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,440
and we showed them 
it was possible

30
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,840
to take part in struggles 
and win them.

31
00:02:37,036 --> 00:02:41,000
Finally we rose up.
Some of us stuck together

32
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,240
and ditched the fear they 
had always put inside us.

33
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,427
with their threats.

34
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,640
But finally some of us were 
courageous and went on strike.

35
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:21,920
We are united - 
Logistics Workers
