Italy is set for a month of trade union activity, with several strikes planned across the transport sector. The key date is Friday, November 20, when a nationwide general strike has been called.
On Friday, November 6, Enav staff at Bari airport are due to stage an interregional strike from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
On Monday, November 9, all Italo NTV railway staff are scheduled to strike nationally from 9:01 a.m. to 4:59 p.m. The action was announced by Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl, Ugl Ferrovieri, Fast Confsal and Orsa Ferrovie.
