Biagio Celi, prominent CISL union leader, passes away

Biagio Celi, a significant figure in the Italian trade union movement, has passed away. Celi was a long-standing leader within the CISL (Confederazione Italiana Sindacati Lavoratori), serving in several high-level capacities.

His career included roles as the General Secretary of the CISL Public Function in Teramo, a member of the CISL Abruzzo Secretariat, and ultimately the General Secretary of the CISL Public Function for the Abruzzo and Molise regions. In addition to his union leadership, he was a long-time public official for the Municipality of Tortoreto.

Colleagues and the CISL of Teramo have described him as a moral guide and an authoritative leader known for his ability to mediate while remaining firm on principles of social justice and workers' dignity.
