image by Aaron Belotti, 24 December 2002

The three categories of Building and Wood workers (for CGIL is FILLEA, for CISL is FILCA and for UIL is FENEAL) have for many years worked together in joint association. FLC means "Federazione Lavoratori Costruzioni" (Building Workers Federation). This is a exemple of cooperation of the three Trade Unions. Now FLC exist only in my province. The reverse of the flag is completly red. Bolzano is the main city of Alto-Adige. This script means that the Organization in provincially. This flag exists also in german language for my Province. LFB means "LandesFoederation Bau-holz" (Building-Wood federation of the Province). Bozen is the name of Bolzano in german. The reverse of the flag is completly red.

Or.S.A.- ORganizazzione Sindacati Autonomi e di Base (Rank and File' Autonomus Trade Unions Organization)

In Italian language "orsa" is a female bear. That's the reason for the logo that you can see on the flag of Or.S.A.
Aaron Belotti, 24 December 2002

The flag shows a bear and the Big Dipper constellation - a double pun, as the acronym "OrSA" can be read as Italian "orsa", "she-bear", and the Big Dipper is "Ursa Major", the greater she-bear, in astronomical usage and in many cultures (incl. Italian of Roman tradition).
