Physical, tangible and visual proximity is and always will be the pre-eminent field of play in union action. Putting together and organizing is the foundation of the strength of a confederal union. In time and in time. But the need to create and occupy on the net - that is, at another level, the "digital" one, which can be superimposed on the "real" level - a space, a new social space, which is the product of the development of the internet and its reflections on the social networks that are born in the digital space, is becoming clearer and clearer every day.
