“To the workers of the world of entertainment and culture who went down today in Piazza Duomo in Milan to claim the rights of a sector that is literally on its knees, all our solidarity and support goes. We are at their side to ask the Government and institutions that finally listen to the reasons for a fundamental sector for our country made up of fitters, technicians, show business operators and exhibition organizers“, declared Sandro Stipa, president of Assoallestimenti di FederlegnoArredo, which represents over 360 Italian companies producing and supplying exhibition stands and services. “A wealth of know-how and professionalism that the Government has the duty to protect, because we cannot forget that the fitting out sector was one of the first to stop and will be one of the last to restart, with lost revenues that reach peaks of over ’80 percent “.
Sandro Stipa lined up alongside the workers of the entertainment world during the flashmob held Saturday afternoon in Piazza Duomo, during which the demonstrators lined up 500 black trunks and one red to claim their right to work.
“With the “Trunks in the square” event – added Stipa – we hope that not only will the spotlight be kept on the world of events, live music, shows and fairs, which contribute not only to cultural development, but also to the GDP of our country, but concrete actions that we have been waiting for too long be implemented as soon as possible. We are talking about a real industry that has not worked for months and months. We will continue to take the requests of these workers and their families to all the appropriate locations, because not doing so would mean forgetting mostly small companies that have been stopped since last February”.
