The main parties on the left of
Italy's political spectrum, the soon-to-be-merged
MDP-SI-Possibile groups and former Milan Mayor Giuliano
Pisapia's Progressive Field (CP) group, will join in protests
staged by the CGIL union on December 2 against government policy
on pensions and retirement, sources said Thursday.
This week the leftwing CGIL, Italy's biggest trade-union
confederation, said it was not satisfied with the government's
plans to exempt some workers doing heavy jobs from an increase
in the retirement age to 67 in 2019, saying more was needed.
