Today's NY Times reports a demonstration of Italian Unions.
Accompanying the article is a photo of a crowd in Rome,
brandishing brandishing CGIL
banners (the former communist labor federation).

The red flags with CGIL and other inscriptions in white or
yellow would seem to belong to the Confederazione Generale
Italiana del Lavore, the Italian General Confederation of Labor.

Here is the flag of the trade union cgil, the most important
and with more members of Italy. The initials, down on the right
side, are the european and world trade union confederations. The
colors in the left-top corner are (with the color of the
background) the italian colors.

Previous Flag
by Aaron Belotti, 24 December 2002
CGIL has also regional flags. Usually the regional flags are
similar at the national flag with the name of the region. In my
Region (Trentino Alto-Adige), my province (Alto Adige) has two
official languages: Italian and German. For that reason our flag
is different. In the flag, Alto-Adige is the Italian name of the
province and Sudtirol is the name in German. The initials AGB
mean Autonomer Gewerkschafts-bund (Autonomous Trade Union). I
know that it is not the translation of the Italian name but
however it's so. The colors in the corner are the european union
colors. Below it is the former flag of CGIL of my province.

The logo of cgil is very simple: a red square and on the upper
side there is inscription in black "CGIL". Most of the
federations flags are based on this logo.

In the flag of FILLEA down on the right side the words
"Costruzioni e Legno" means "Building and
Wood" The red background of the flags of the Trade Union
CGIL has clearly a leftist meaning.

Here is photo 156 from
Yahoo anti-war slideshow . It's a flag of some trade union,
perhaps a local delegation. This image is cropped and enlarged,
showing details of the logo, drawn in yellow and green, including
what's almost certainly a hammer. This and the CGIL inscription
now visible in the upper fly identifies the flag as a trade union
flag, without a doubt. It might be the flag of a local delegation
of the FIOM (Metallurgical Employees and Workers Federation). The
logo surely looks suspiciously similar.
In the cropping, a "pace" flag is also partially
visible.

Today's 'Independent on Sunday' newspaper has a photograph of yesterday's
demonstration in Rome. Many flags but there is one striking one
which I do not recognise and cannot find on our Italian pages. It
is red over blue separated by a broad zig-zag yellow band from
lower hoist to upper fly. It looks as though there are letters at
the upper hoist, but the picture shows the reverse and in any
case it's too small to see.
André Coutanche, 24 March 2002
This is the flag of CGIL-FNLE. CGIL stands for
"Confederazione Generale Italiana Lavoratori" and is
the largest italian workers' syndacate, left-oriented. FNLE
stands for "Federazione Nazionale Lavoratori Elettrici"
and is the CGIL section of workers in the electrical industries
and utilities.
