24 -hour strike of unions, in a sign of support

At the same time, members of the Italian CGIL and USB Italian trade unions are on strike today for the 24 -hour period in support of the members of the international loftery Global Sumud Flottilla who transported humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and to express their condemnation of his inorns.

The mobilization is all about the public and private sectors: from local transport, to public administration, teachers, air transport and trains.

Yesterday afternoon, the Italian Regulatory Committee ruled that the CGIL trade union strike did not respect the applicable regulation because it was announced only forty -eight hours ago. However, the secretary of the trade union organization Mauricio Landini replied that he was going to resort to this decision and that the strike would not be suspended.

“The armed attack on October 1st against non -military ships carried by Italian citizens is a serious incident: this is an immediate threat against the integrity and security of workers and volunteers who participated in this mission,” the USBs said in a statement.
