There must be no room for any speculations". Giacomassi recalled that the trade union in the capital of Lombardy "prepared a draft agreement with the Commune and the organizational committee long ago, based on working themes. It is true that the event will generate new employment, but it must not be a disposable event. It must comply with well-defined security and contractual correctness criteria, also with a view to the fact that it will concern the building sector in a special way". For this reason, concluded the CISL secretary, "We want to be present and state our opinion at all stages approaching 2015".
