Phonics, transcribers and forensic shorthand reporters take to the streets. At the foot of the courthouse in Palermo, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, about fifty workers wave CGIL flags and demand to be made permanent after 25 years. “We are contract workers for the Ministry of Justice – explains Rosolino Lo Cicero, of Filcams Palermo – we are classified with a multi-service contract but in the cleaning sector, so we do not even have a reference category. In Palermo there are 25 phonics and about forty transcribers, while in all of Italy we are a total of 1500 people.” “We are responsible for the documentation service of procedural acts and two fundamental steps, audio recording and transcription of hearings – says Emanuele Buongiorno, Filcams – in short, we record and transcribe the depositions of the defendants, from a simple theft to a mafia trial.” They ask for certainties from the Ministry of Justice, that professional figures be recognized “who have been precarious for over 25 years – attacks Buongiorno – tied to the profit logic of the world of contracts. We play an essential role. We are essential but invisible: today we ask Minister Nordio to be internalized and become an integral part of the justice system.” Rosolino Lo Cicero, of Filcams Palermo, and Emanuele Buongiorno, Filcams, speak.
