Show your solidarity with the Italian public service workers going on strike

FP-CGIL, UIL-FPL and UIL-PA have decided to mobilize for a change in the Budget Law and the economic and social policies of the Italian government. This mobilization includes strikes (lasting 8 hours or an entire shift) and demonstrations organized regionally to support demands outlined in joint union platforms.

As part of this mobilization, on Friday, November 17, FP CGIL, UIL FPL, and UIL PA have called for an 8-hour or full shift strike for all public service workers nationwide

The aim is to raise public awareness about the Budget Law's serious shortcomings as presented by the government. The government has not engaged in social dialogue on the law's contents and has ignored calls for change, leaving mobilization as the only means to voice workers' concerns.

Unions also urge the government and local institutions to take immediate action on issues such as wages, collective agreements, precarious work conditions, industrial policies, workplace safety, taxation, social security and pension revaluation, education, and healthcare. These actions are necessary to reduce inequalities and stimulate growth.

As part of this mobilization, on Friday, 17 November, FP CGIL, UIL FPL, and UIL PA have called for an 8-hour or full shift strike for all public service workers nationwide. The strike aims to advocate for sufficient investment in quality public services, ensure adequate staffing at all workplaces, and defend public services and their social value against the threat of privatization.

On the same day, transport, school, university workers, and all workers in the Central Regions will strike for 8 hours or a full shift.

Following this, Sicily will strike on 20 November, with Sardinia expected to follow on the 27th. On Friday, 24 November, workers in the Northern Regions will take to the streets. Finally, on Friday, 1 December, workers from the Southern Regions will strike for 8 hours or for the entire shift.

These demonstrations and rallies will be organized at the provincial or regional level.
