“We have always sought to speak to workers as to men,
to speak to their minds and to their hearts,
to their consciences.
In this way the Union has become a school of justice,
but also of democracy and freedom,
it has done its part in elevating the civil virtues of the workers and of the people.”

(Luciano Lama, General Secretary CGIL, XI CGIL Congress, 1986)
