Strike 12 December, in Florence demonstration with Landini

On the occasion of the general strike proclaimed by the CGIL on 12 December to change 'an unjust Budget Law', demonstrations will be held in every region. In Tuscany it will be in Florence where CGIL general secretary Maurizio Landini will participate. The concentration will be in Piazza Santa Maria Novella at 9 a.m., procession and concluding rallies in Oltrarno, in Piazza del Carmine: before Landini, workers will speak from the stage. The abstention will last the entire working day for all public and private sectors, including contracting and instrumental ones.

In the sectors and branches required to comply with law no. 146/90, essential services will be guaranteed, in accordance with the sectoral regulations. For rail transport, the strike will take place from 00.01 on 12/12/2025 to 21.00 on 12/12/2025.

For the fire brigade, 4-hour strike (without curtailment). For shift personnel, from 09.00 to 13.00. Full day for daily and administrative staff.

 Exempted from membership are 'environmental hygiene, Ministry of Justice personnel, Atac spac personnel, fully exempted air transport'.

"The Budget Law," the union explains, "does not give answers to the issues that CGIL has been raising for some time: wages, public health, tax justice, public education, pensions, precariousness, industrial and service sector policies. The path taken by the government will worsen the living and working conditions of the vast majority of people, affecting workers, pensioners, young people, women. We will take to the streets to demand higher wages and pensions, more investment in health and education, a real tax reform, to say no to precarity and rearmament".
