CGIL Calls Nationwide General Strike for December 12 Over 2026 Budget

The union seeks to pressure Parliament over a 2026 budget it says ignores wages and public services.

Overview

  • The decision was announced at a Florence assembly by Fulvio Fammoni, with secretary-general Maurizio Landini in attendance.
  • CGIL says the budget law fails to address salaries, public healthcare, fiscal justice, public education, pensions, precarious work, and industrial and tertiary policies.
  • The strike date is set for Friday, December 12, 2025, as the budget is under parliamentary discussion.
  • The Florence assembly was convened to confront the budget proposal and to guide the union’s next steps.
  • Union leaders say they aim to strengthen their platform and push for renewal of national collective labor contracts.
