CGIL general strike on 12 December: impact on transport, school and health with differentiated adherence
Black Friday for transport, especially for trains, which will stop from midnight to 9 p.m
From transport to school, also passing through health care. On Friday 12 December, a national general strike is planned, called by the CGIL, to protest against the budget manoeuvre. It will involve, the union explains, "all public and private sectors, including contracted services and instrumental activities".
Black Friday for trains
Possible disruptions will occur for both national and local transport. As far as trains are concerned, the mobilisation is for all personnel, who will stop from midnight until 9 p.m. Trenitalia, Italo and Trenord will provide and some guaranteed trains.
Essential services, i.e. from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., will also be guaranteed for the regional transport services of Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper and Trenord.
Public transport
With regard to public transport, the CGIL has confirmed the national adhesion, but it will vary between territories. For example, Atac in Rome, which has already gone on strike on 9 December, will not adhere. In Milan, on the other hand, Atm connections may not be guaranteed from 8.45 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The other sectors
It is possible that school staff in some institutions will also strike, as well as other public workers in health care and public administration.
