San Marino. Unions in mourning for the death of Alberto Mino
The San Marino Confederation of Labor and the Democratic Confederation of San Marino Workers mourn the death of Alberto Mino, historical director of the Csdl and of the Pensioners’ Federation.
“An example of dedication and combativeness”, so the general secretary of the Democratic Confederation of San Marino workers, Gianluca Montanariremember Alberto Mino, former manager of the Confederation of Labour, disappeared this morning.
In a telegram sent to the family, the secretary of the Democratic Confederation highlighted “his ideal impulse and his humanity”, recalling “his long commitment to workers and the Republic and his contribution to the growth and autonomy of the trade union movement”.
“Among the founders of the unitary trade union center – concludes the condolence message -, Alberto remains in the history of the San Marino union as a vivid example of dedication and combativeness”.
The confederal council of the CDLS and the secretary of the National Federation of Pensioners, Pier Marino Canti, join the condolences of the general secretary, underlining “the great united battles in defense of the rights of the elderly people” and in particular “the commitment made by Alberto towards the most fragile elderly people and those with economic and family difficulties”.
“With deep sadness, the San Marino Confederation of Labor learned this morning of the passing of Alberto Mino, historical director of the Csdl and of the Pensioners’ Federation. The general secretary Enzo Merlini with a telegram sent his expressions of condolence to the family – reads the press release of the San Marino Confederation of Labour -. Alberto was a great protagonist in the trade union history of the Republic of San Marino, an important point of reference for all those who served in the Confederation of Labour. Between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s he was a full-time official of the Csdl, alongside the managers of the time, the general secretary Mario Nanni and the deputy general secretary Andrea Bacciocchi, and was one of the founders of the Unitary Union of Industry and Craft Workers (now Fuli), whose founding Congress was held on 9 June 1973. Only 5 years later this Federation achieved the signing of the first single collective agreement in the sector, namely that of the industrial sector”.
And again: “After a long militancy as an official of the Communist Party of San Marino and of the subsequent PPDS, he resumed his activity in the Confederation of Labour, being a member of the Confederal Governing Council from 2000 to 2014, and holding the position of secretary from 2001 to 2014 of the Pensioners Federation. In those years he was also a member of the confederal secretariat of the Csdl. From 2014 to 2018 he was president of the same Pensioners Federation. In the first part of his active militancy in the Csdl, at the turn of the 60s and 70s, with his work he made a decisive contribution to the development of national collective bargaining and to the birth of the unitary trade union centre, participating intensely in the organizational phase, lasted a few years, which then made it possible in 1976 to reach this historic goal of the San Marino trade union movement”.
“In the many years in which he led the Pensioners’ Federation of the Csdl, he made a great commitment with many ideas, proposals and initiatives aimed at improving the living conditions of pensioners, and at the same time he made a considerable contribution to the general policies of the Confederation, in which he poured his intelligence and all his experience gained in the political-trade union field. All those who knew him in the Confederation remember him with great affection, for his human sensitivity and for his affable, kind and helpful character, for having always made his skills and his strong social and civil passion available to the union. Alberto was, in both his political and trade union militancy, a great protagonist of the San Marino progressive movement, as he himself liked to define it, animated by strong values of equality, solidarity, social justice and democracy, always at the forefront of the struggles and conquests for the rights and emancipation of workers, pensioners and people in difficulty. Alberto was a companion in many battles and also a teacher, who leaves an important legacy both on a human, trade union and social level; an indelible heritage for the life of the Confederation and for the entire country”, finally declares the Csdl.
