CGIL Ragusa Want Regional Fund Give Pendolari 400-700 Euro as Fuel Cost Bite

CGIL Ragusa don push one proposal: make regional fund dey give between 400 and 700 euro to workers wey dem dey call pendolari — workers wey private car na the only way dem get to reach their work. Dem relaunch this proposal for one territorial meeting on Friday 2 October 2026 for Ragusa, inside the meeting room of the union provincial office, and the meeting start 10am.

The reason na say public transport no dey, e no reach, or e no match with work hours. Because of that, thousands of workers for the Ragusa area — the ibleo area — dey forced to use private car. Ragusa Oggi report say the fuel price problem (caro carburante, dear fuel) dey weigh on Ragusa commuters pass anybody else, and some workers dey already inside car on the Ragusa-Catania road by 6am, and no be say na their choice.

Viviana Sammito introduce the discussion. The initiative come from the provincial secretary, Giuseppe Roccuzzo. Among others wey attend — the reports no talk say na everybody, dem only list some — na Carmelo Caccamo, provincial secretary of CNA Ragusa; Giorgio Stracquadanio of FITA CNA; Antonio Pirrè, president of Confagricoltura; Giusy Migliorisi for Sicilindustria; Gianni Rollo, provincial president of Legacoop Ragusa; parliamentarians Nello Dipasquale and Stefania Campo; and the mayor (sindaco) of Ragusa, Giuseppe Cassì. One assessore (council member) also attend, but the report wey dey available cut off before e name am, so we no fit talk who e be.

Wetin CGIL wan do next: dem wan present the proposal to the regional government and to the Sicilian deputation, meaning the parliamentarians for Sicily. The reports no give date for when dem go present am, and dem no talk whether the regional government don answer.
