PURSUANT TO ART. 9 OF THE PROVISIONAL REGULATION ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 18/138 OF 23.4.2018 BY THE GUARANTEE COMMISSION

Users are hereby informed that the FILT CGIL Puglia and Basilicata Trade Unions have announced their participation in the National general strike lasting 24 (twenty-four) hours for the entire working day of Friday, NOVEMBER 20, 2026 for all public and private categories, proclaimed by the same union on 19.10.2026.

The strike has been called for the following reasons:

  • Request to allocate more resources to healthcare, education, social policies, long-term care, and housing support, while reducing the increase in rearmament spending.
  • Need to block the increase in the retirement age, ensure the full revaluation of pensions, and strengthen health and safety measures in the workplace.
  • Request for real progressivity in taxation on all incomes, a serious fight against tax evasion, the return of fiscal drag, and the indexing of Irpef to inflation.
  • Urgent need for a development strategy to address technological and environmental transitions, manage corporate crises, and support productive sectors, with particular focus on Southern Italy.
  • Need to guarantee contract renewals (public and private) that recover and increase purchasing power, including through tax relief and adequate government funding.
  • Concrete and immediate responses to guarantee the right to education and combat job insecurity.

Please be advised that the participation percentages recorded by the above-mentioned union in the last strike are:

  • Puglia 8.72% – Basilicata 11.66%
