President's annual report
FEDAIISF Congress
BOLOGNA – 13-14 June 2015
Dear colleagues, dear friends.
What we did in 2014 and, above all, what we will do in 2015.
This reflection will be the stimulus for the work that awaits us and that will come.
A year, 2014, dedicated to the search for visibility and representativeness.
Visibility, in my opinion, has greatly increased: in particular due to the meticulous, boring, sacrificed, competent work of those who took care of the new site. I cannot, therefore, not thank Angelo Dazzi, Riccardo Bevilacqua, Angelo Passini, Antonio Scano, Angelo Baruchello and Giorgio Pezzi.
I limited myself to observing and appreciating these worker bees, intent on building the new house, brick by brick.
Renewing the site meant taking a significant step forward in the construction of tomorrow: because tomorrow there will be a modern tomorrow in line with the times.
Yes, in line with the times.
Active evidence of this is the many emails sent by colleagues, health professionals, companies, who have offered their advice and their services up to the request for workforce.
Last but not least, the interview requests.
Fedaiisf is, in Italy, the only organized federation, with interventions at 360 degrees in politics, union problems, institutional economics.
Things done in 2014:
there are so many that in the intervention in Foggia he required over an hour and a half to examine them one by one.
Since I have already sent you all the report on that event and since the report of my friend Antonio Mazzarella, President of Foggia, has also been sent, I believe it is superfluous to go into detail.
I will state the most relevant things:
we were received by the President of the Chamber's Health Commission.
We were invited by him to participate in the presentation of the three-year health plan at Montecitorio.
We have taken the first steps towards a European federation.
We were received by the legal adviser to the President of the Budget Committee.
We met twice with Luca Bianco, CISL national secretary.
We started the site revolution.
We presided over the national congress of Farmindustria.
We attended the SNAMI congress in Rome.
We met again with the general manager of AIFA, who proposed the possibility of geolocating our associates.
We were invited by SIAR.
And so on..
However, we had to curb that operational ardor at the end of September, because the treasury warned me of the exhaustion of available resources.
The first battles of 2015 and the first mortifications unleashed my reactive impulses: I thus find myself more ready than ever to defend our associates from everywhere and to fight epic battles in the name of our future.
THINGS TO DO IN 2015
What does 2015 have in store for us? the problems are changing: there is no longer the obsession with job loss.
The mobilities are almost exhausted on the thrust of the government wave, which - in all likelihood - will have given
sufficient guarantees to the industry.
Certainly we will have to pay attention to the contracts, to avoid dangerous slides in the commercial area.
We will have to monitor, company by company, colleague by colleague, the dynamics linked to the abolition of trade union guarantees, which open up scenarios to be monitored for the protection of the rights of those who work.
We will have to undertake all possible initiatives, for what I have defined as the slavery of the twenty-first century: I am referring to corporate IPADs and IPHONs complete with geolocation and silent pressure to bring them along.
This will have to be the crusade of 2015, using all possible means, seeking approval from newspapers, unions of employees and self-employed workers, activation of company RSUs, continuous and repeated editorials, various types of associations, newspapers: in short, a very strong pressure to report the dignity of those who work, in the place that common sense and the inalienable right to personal freedoms impose.
Companies have devised a new type of whip, the 2000 whip: another shape, another use, the same pain.
We will try to better understand the role of Europe for the associations: perhaps we will try to find other associations to federate with them.
Dazzi had ancient addresses: it could be sufficient to look for ISF Associations in Europe through the professional associations of doctors to which to ask.
However, it had occurred to me to activate, for these specific reasons, the COLAP, which will certainly have already worked to bring together various associations in Europe.
We did well to call ourselves out of UIADM: I don't want to be the sacrificial victim of a pagan rite, in which to be put in constant vote inferiority, and to be attractive only to contribute to the thinking dynamics of an already constituted majority, which made only our precious contributions to share the expenses, however modest.
In my opinion, 2015 will have to lay the foundations for a stronger impact with COLAP, which today represents over 200 associations of various types and which are increasingly expanding.
It will be our care to participate in the life of the association, even within the limits of our small budget: but if you want visibility, attention to problems, resolution of disputes, addressing the many distortions of our work, we must participate actively, to have the opportunity to speak to microphones oriented towards politicians, trade unions, journalists.
For better or for worse, the associations present are over 300,000 strong.
We will also try to motivate our members with innovative ideas, so that they are not disappointed by cultural and operational paths that identify with the past.
We will manage the many open things so as not to let them get out of hand.
All of you are needed for all of this: with a touch of regret I must observe that while you have been commendable for keeping our base aggregated, you have not equally identified paths of ideas to be transferred to all of us so that we can make them operational.
Since I like words, but even more practical things I ask you, indeed I ask you again the reasons why no one has felt it necessary to adhere to what was shared in the previous year's report.
I recall, for the sake of brevity: requests for meetings with the region, meetings with representatives of medical associations,
pharmacist associations, local politicians, employees' unions, consumer associations, local press directors, autonomous agents unions, ideas to be developed.
It would be useful -also- to respond to each attack
visible on the internet, and, meeting young colleagues in the clinics, participating in their problems, making them
yours to give, if possible, contributions of experience and answers to their needs and expectations.
You, always remember this, are not only scientific representatives of the drug, you are presidents or provincial or regional councilors, you have two business cards: one real and one ideal; make your institutional weight felt, become increasingly charismatic not at the service of the federation, but for the well-being of many colleagues. Always remember this: they are the problem, we have to represent and defend them politically.
You will be the national presidents of tomorrow or the members of the National Executive and we will build the natural replacement because no one should be born and die with an institutional office.
Several times I have urged you to read into the problems, but you have not yet done so, I have asked you to work to leave a trace together with all of us: seize the opportunities of a lit microphone, make your voice heard to the world or at least in that part of the world, where you have grown professionally and have developed your role.
Look for these opportunities, invest what little time you have left after a hard day's work to amalgamate colleagues, to get consensus from the people who count in your monad.
Unity among us, unity and knowledge, unity and development.
We will all work to support you, as we always have.
In short, friends, we all work with a single goal: to make the definitive leap in quality, which we have been preparing for two years and which will recognize Fedaiisf as a consolidated certainty in our professional scenario and not a sterile optional carried out to satisfy the ambitions of a few.
One day, people who knew us may remember us for our federation.
And, perhaps, they could tell their children about us.
And these, in turn, to their own.
And again….and again….and again.
We will die, but each of us will continue to live.
Only an idea can give immortality to strangers.
Thank you
Fabio Carinci
Federal President Fedaiisf
