Strikes, two "Black Fridays" in sight in less than a month

Once the issue of the truck protest has been overcome, at least for now, with the situation heading towards returning to normality, at least two more days of inconvenience and difficulties on transport and not just for citizens are looming in less than a month. Two general strikes, in both cases on Friday and in both cases non-united, in what is proving to be a particularly hot autumn for protests and street demonstrations.

Friday 30 October

The first will be next Friday, October 30, with a concomitance of initiatives starting with the 24-hour general strike (with respect for the guaranteed time slots) proclaimed by the USB "against the continuously growing prices, starting with that of fuel which is bringing the population to its knees", as stated by the basic union in a note.

USB intends to organize a demonstration in Rome, in Piazza dei Cinquecento, in the morning.

At the same time, again for Friday 30th, Cobas also proclaimed a general strike together with ADL, Clap and Sial, for the public and private sectors but, in their case, with the exception of transport. Also in this case "against the high cost of living which prevents us from meeting the costs of essential goods", but also against the war "and the shift of budget resources towards armaments". On the same day, demonstrations by students, housing movements, social centers and truck drivers are scheduled in the main Italian cities which could have repercussions on public order.

Also on Friday, another protest, in this case lasting 4 hours, was proclaimed by Uiltrasporti for the staff of Enav and Techno SKY throughout the national territory: "the mobilization arises from the lack of answers on numerous open disputes, from the absence of progress in the confrontation with the company", states the union in a note.
