Black Monday for those who use public transport in Milan and Rome, Genoa and Bologna, Naples and Florence. Commuters and others will find themselves today, September 8, 2024, facing long waits at the bus, tram or metro stop for the transport strike. The 8-hour national strike of local public transport workers was proclaimed by Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Faisa Cisal and Ugl Fna. The modalities will be established at the territorial level.
Times and guarantee bands
The strike will take place in Milan from 6 pm to the end of service, in Genoa from 9.30 am to 5 pm, in Venice from 10 am to 4 pm, Bologna from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, Florence from 2.30 pm to 10.30 pm, Rome from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, Naples from 9 am to 5 pm and Bari from 3.30 pm to 11.30 pm.
Why they protest
The protest to ask for the renewal of the contract and the improvement of working conditions as explained by the unions. “Despite the result of the first 4-hour strike action on July 18 – denounces Filt Cgil – we have not registered any sign of progress from the employers’ associations, nor from the institutions”. Also Fit Cisl as well as Uiltrasporti speak of “lack of agreement on the renewal of the sector Ccnl, the inadequacy of wages and the criticality of living/working conditions with the continuous risk of aggression”.
