Italy Braces for Twin Gaza-Linked Strikes, From CGIL Actions Today to a Sept. 22 Nationwide Stop

Transport agencies have issued contingency plans and guarantee windows to limit disruption.

Overview

  • CGIL’s Sept. 19 mobilization is underway with four-hour end-of-shift stoppages in non‑essential sectors, while services covered by Law 146 hold assemblies instead of striking.
  • Filt Cgil actions target freight, logistics, road viability, parking and rental services, with port workers allowed up to 24 hours of stoppage, including a 24‑hour strike at Gioia Tauro.
  • Base unions Cub, ADL, SGB and USB have called a nationwide 24‑hour general strike for Sept. 22 across public and private sectors in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.
  • Rail services are scheduled to pause from 21:00 Sunday to 21:00 Monday, and local operators such as ATM and ATAC have confirmed participation with published guarantee windows.
  • USB has warned it may advance the national strike if the flotilla is obstructed, leaving timing contingent in the days before Sept. 22.
