On May 2, 2023, Tuesday, a stir of four hours will involve the workers of the local public transport in several Italian cities. The protest, organized by the Confail-Faisa trade union, could cause considerable inconvenience to commuters and citizens who use public transport to get around.
Let's analyze the reasons for the strike, the expected effects in the main Italian cities and the stop times of the services in the various cities.
Reasons behind the protest
The Confail-Faisa union organizes the strike to express your dissent regarding the lack of progress in negotiations on the national collective labor agreement.
Among the main requests made by the union, there are:
- salary increases adjusted to the increase in the cost of living,
- occupational safety measures,
- better organization of work
Confail-Faisa argues that these issues require urgent and necessary attention from employers' associations.
