Transport strike in Italy
An Italian transport strike affected local train, bus and tram services
on 6 September after the three main Italian union confederations, CGIL,
CSIL, and UIL, and civil service union CISAL called out members in
municipal transport. The aim of the strike, which lasted from 9.00am to
1.00pm, was to increase pressure on the employers as part of the ongoingnegotiations on a new contract.
