two of Italy's largest trade union
confederations, CGIL and UIL, on Thursday announced new strike
action and demonstrations in April over a number of
labour-related issues including workplace safety, union
representation, health sector policies and tax reform.
The idea, said CGIL Secretary Maurizio Landini, is to "give
continuity to the mobilization" so far.
CGIL and UIL have agreed to hold a national assembly in Florence
next Friday, which Landini said "will be used to decide on a
mobilization with a strike to be held in April for safety and
against deaths at work and an initiative to arrive at a law on
representation".
In addition, the unions are reportedly planning "a big
demonstration in Rome, the date under consideration is Saturday
April 20" focusing on "health and the need for a real tax
reform".
