Giovanni Giarrana: un militante infaticabile. Con tristezza il sindacato Unia ha appreso la scomparsa dell’amico e militante sindacale di lunga data Giovanni Giarrana. Il suo impegno per il nostro sindacato, dove in passato aveva ricoperto la carica di copresidente della commissione dei migranti, è stato per anni infaticabile. Solo nel marzo scorso aveva partecipato per Unia a Tunisi al Forum sociale mondiale, dove aveva organizzato un gruppo di lavoro sul tema dei profughi che arrivano sulle coste della Sicilia, sua isola natale.
