#1: News article - LOCRI! Author: Carole, Location: Valtellina - Near Lake ComoPosted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:45 am ---- I stumbled accross this news article this morning when searching for something about the Festa of San Giuseppe Lavoratori (1st May - aka Workers/Labour Day).
It is all in Italian I'm afraid and is from 2006, but may be of interest to some...
In the first part of the article is says:
"Con lo slogan "Lavoro - Sviluppo - Costituzione - Libertà - Contro le mafie" sarà Locri a ospitare la manifestazione nazionale dei sindacati confederali per il Primo maggio."
which says... With the slogan "Work - Growth - Constitution - Freedom - Against the Mafia" it is Locri that will accommodate the national demonstration of the federation of (trade) unions for the First of May."

The preamble to the bit I translated says THIS:
Sunday, 30 aprile, 2006
A strong signal against the mafia, a message of hope and of a rebirth of the territory. With the slogan "Work - Growth - Constitution - Freedom - Against the Mafia" it is Locri that will accommodate the national demonstration of the federation of (trade) unions for the First of May." A strong signal after the murder of the Vice President of the calabrese regional Council Francesco Fortugno, the mobilisation without precedent against the 'ndrangheta**. But we are not dealing with a revolution from the lower clearly-defined subjects just in Locri with the famous students slogan "well then kill kill us all", but it embraces numrous examples of active citizenship, of social co-operation and economic solidarity that animates the whole of Calabria.
**'ndrangheta (a Calabrian criminal organization similar to the Mafia).
