National theater strike, shows at risk throughout Italy on 27 October

Today, Tuesday 27 October, the theater sector is affected by the national strike announced by the trade unions. The mobilization aims to bring attention to the conditions of those who work in live entertainment, including precariousness, employment discontinuity and the need for greater contractual guarantees. The initiative particularly concerns theater staff and hired artists, for whom job stability and the recognition of rights remain central issues. The strike was proclaimed by Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl and Uilfpc Uil after the breakdown of the confrontation with Federvivo on the renewal of the national contract.

At the center of the protest is the lack of agreement on economic and regulatory conditions, after years of negotiations without results. The strike also has consequences on programming: in Milan, at the Piccolo Teatro, the performances of Oscar, with Sonia Bergamasco, at the Strehler and Sono solo parole at the Studio Melato were cancelled; The American clock was lost at Puccini's Elfo. Garrisons are also planned in other cities, including Rome, Naples, Genoa and Turin. The mobilization will continue with further local initiatives and will culminate in a national demonstration in Rome on 9 November.
