General strike on Friday: marches in cities and possible transport disruption
Published
On Friday, October 30, a general strike called by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) will take place. Workers are protesting against the cost of living, that is, the general rise in prices, and against rearmament, that is, the increase in military spending.
The strike could cause disruption for travellers. Some transport services have been requisitioned, which means the government has ordered that a minimum number of services be guaranteed. For this reason, passengers should check timetables before setting off.
In the main cities, marches and rallies in squares are planned. Authorities urge citizens to find out about road closures and march routes, especially during rush hours. No further details on the number of participants are currently available.
Citizens who need to travel on Friday can check the websites of transport companies for information on service changes. The strike is a trade union protest, and its effects will depend on the level of worker participation in different regions.
