Recruitment, minimum wage, allowances, trainings, etc. It was they who had to negotiate and agree on the problems of precariousness and labour relations based on taxation and unilaterality.

The spokesmen of the strikers say that they have reached a satisfactory agreement for both sides and that, moreover, we have "achieved a satisfactory agreement also for the pelotars of the future". Good play by the Baiko striker pelotaris, who have been left out of the call.
This move, moreover, can serve not only for the world of the ball, but also for other sectors, as workers will often have to resort to the force of strike, especially in times of crisis in which such situations and conflicts are constantly multiplying.
