A general national transport strike will be observed on Friday in Italy, in all sectors, public and private, land, rail, air and maritime, at the call of several union centers.
This upgrading, announced on the site of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport, intervenes to claim a reduction in funds allocated to Defense and demand increased investments in health, education, public transport and safety at work.
Unions, which also oppose privatizations, claim increases in wage, the renewal of collective agreements and the reduction of working time.
The rail sector will be one of the most affected, where delays and cancellations are to be feared for high -speed, regional and long distance trains.
In terms of air transport, it is in particular luggage handlers, shuttle operators and stopover assistance staff will mobilize, as well as direct airport staff and that of external support companies.
The strike will also affect local public transport, including the Bus, Metros and Trams from Milan to Rome. The staff of highway concession companies will join this protest movement.
Throughout this month of June, Italy is experiencing a series of strikes in the transport sector complicating the trips of holidaymakers and professionals, during a summer period when the country welcomes millions of visitors.
