Half strike on trains. Trade unions: “shameful and illegal”.

After doing nothing for 34 days, so much has passed since Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Ugl Ferrovieri, Orsa Ferrovie and Fast Confsal declared the train strike today, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini (Lega) ordered workers and managed to reduce the protest to Half to 3 p.m. Initially it should have been 24 hours since long-distance trains were guaranteed, as well as regional rail services at certain time slots: from 6 to 9, from 18 to 21, at the time of writing, however, the strike was confirmed on Saturday By airport staff, handling and check-in services. They will stop for eight hours: from 10 to 18.

« Advance It is a shameful, wrong and illegal initiative – says Filt CGIL General Secretary Stefano Mallorgio – the announcements of strikes have been known to the Ministry of Transport since 8 and 22 June. Nothing was done to avoid them while there was time and availability to do so. Trains and planes have already been canceled in anticipation of the strike, so any inconvenience to travelers will not be avoided anyway, which must be attributed to those who stopped the negotiations.”

“We will compensate In the competent judicial offices to challenge this ruling which is so contrary to the right to strike enshrined in our Constitution – Claudio Tarlazzi and Roberto Napoleone of Oiltrasporte argue – the strike was declared, both Trenitalia and Italo-Ntf for some time and with the consent of the guarantor of the strikes ».

Workers Protesting the renewal of two national contracts and a dispute in the country’s largest carrier, Trenitalia. In the latter, the unions demanded an adequate staffing plan and a more sustainable balance in shift scheduling. The train crews endured such grueling hours that their leave applications are often denied. As far as Italo is concerned, the unions claim that the company has refused to renew the contract and does not respond to requests for wages by introducing an amendment considered insufficient given the inflation that extorts purchasing power.

salvini, In yesterday’s turbulent day spent between bankruptcy and chaotic meetings with corporations and unions, he made many mistakes and in the end used the weapon that denies the right to strike. And she overlooked her political responsibilities: the only way she could find to solve a structural problem, against which there were already widespread movements, was to attack the right to strike, to cover up what she didn’t do, and to give the right to corporations. And he evidently did not fail to play the reganet card: pitting the agents of the trains, on a particularly hot day, against workers loosened by grueling shifts who, like the customers, suffer from the loss of their wages. In a society of generalized discontent, where the world is organized on the “pay, I demand” model, the memory of the victory over the civilian flight controllers’ strike is still fresh in the mindset of members of the neoliberal Northern League. Reagan then mobilized civilian air traffic controllers into the military, and on August 5, 1981, managed to drive out 11,345 attackers, dealing a fatal blow to the Union. Leaving a million Italians behind, traveling on a Thursday in July with temperatures of 35 degrees is unimaginable – I will work to ensure that companies meet unions to appease the railway workers without leaving stranded hundreds of thousands of Italians who are not to blame him, Salvini said. ».

Ministry He explained that he acted after a letter sent by the commission “including strikes” in basic public services. Yesterday the new sponsor Paola Bellucci took office. The same authority had approved the initial forms of today’s protest.
