Fillea Cgil

Fillea Cgil is an Italian trade union representing workers across the construction sector, including building, cement, brickmaking, stone carving, wood furniture, cork production, restoration, and Tuscan terracotta. Founded as part of the CGIL federation, it defends collective rights against illegal labor practices like caporalato while promoting sustainable urban regeneration and green building standards through innovative material supply chains.

• Industries: The union organizes employees in construction, wood furniture, cork manufacturing, restoration, and specialized niche production for yachts and campers.
• Services: It provides mutualistic protection via Casse Edili (construction funds), educational schools, and territorial committees focused on health and safety.
• Sustainability: Fillea actively reduces soil consumption and emissions to foster urban regeneration grounded in seismic prevention and high-quality, sustainable materials.

The organization collaborates with international bodies like the European Federation of Building and Wood Workers to fight exploitation and ensure fair wages for all members regardless of background or profession.
