School strike 16 October: who is stopping today, the reasons and possible inconveniences

The national mobilization involves the teaching, management and ATA staff of all Italian institutes, both permanent and temporary. At the center of the protest are wages, with the request for a 20% increase in salaries to recover from inflation, and precarious work. The Livorno strike in turn involves teachers, educational staff, ATA and fixed-term and permanent managers.

The strike does not lead to the automatic closure of institutions because it depends on the number of teachers and school workers who decide to join the mobilization or not, school by school. This means that in some schools lessons may take place as normal, while in others there may be late entries, early exits or other changes to the timetable. The advice is to monitor your school's official communications in the days preceding October 16th. The information can be given through the electronic register, on the institute's website or with circulars sent to families.
