A nationwide strike broke out in Italy, and many ports were paralyzed

Italy's two largest unions, UIL and CGIL, recently called on ten thousands of central workers to take part in a nationwide strike. The strike affected a wide range of industries, including transportation, public administration, teaching and research, health care, postal services and so on.

According to the report of trade union organizations, the participation rate of strikers in many places in Italy is over 70%. Among them, the participation rate of some ports reaches 100%, the participation rate of logistics industry is as high as 80%, and the participation rate of public transportation and railway transportation industry is 70%.

The strike broke out because workers demanded to raise their income level and guarantee their basic rights and welfare.

It is reported that in order to continue to implement their plan and fight for workers' rights and interests, trade unions will organize several strikes in the next two weeks. If the strike wave continues to escalate in the next two weeks, it will have a certain impact on logistics, transportation and parcel distribution. 

The planned 24-hour strike protest was earlier scaled down by unions after Italy's strike regulator suggested postponing the protest and said it did not meet the requirements, saying the air transport department would no longer participate.

意大利爆发全国性罢工，多个港口面临瘫痪

       日前，意大利最大的两个工会UIL和CGIL号召数万个中部地区的工人参与全国罢工行动。罢工行为影响范围非常之广，其中包括交通运输、公共管理、教学研究、医疗保健、邮政等多个行业。

       据工会组织的报告称，意大利多地罢工人员的参与率达70%以上。其中，某些港口的参与率达到100%，物流行业的参与率高达80%，公共交通和铁路交通行业的参与率为70%。

       此次爆发罢工的原因是因为工人要求提高工人的收入水平、保障基本权益和福利等。

       据悉，为了继续实施他们的计划，争取工人权益，工会组织还将在未来两周组织多场罢工活动。若未来两周内这场罢工浪潮持续升级，那么将对物流运输、包裹配送等造成一定影响。

       原本计划实行的24小时罢工抗议活动由于在意大利罢工监管机构建议推迟抗议活动并表示不符合要求后，工会早些时候缩减了行动规模，称航空运输部门将不再参与。
