CISL chief urges 'fair' contract

(see related)(ANSA) - Rome, July 26 - CISL union chief Annamaria Furlan on Tuesday urged the government to issue a "fair" national public sector employment contract after what she said was a "fruitful" meeting earlier today between labor and Civil Service Minister Marianna Madia.
    "We hope the talks achieve a positive result and a good collective bargaining contract," Furlan said.
    "Public employees have been working without a contract for seven years, and the resources allocated thus far aren't enough," Furlan said.
    "We call on the government to find further resources and to give us a fair contract," she said.
    Money could be found via a "serious fight against waste and embezzlement", Furlan pointed out.
