Please be advised that the confederal trade unions FILT-CGIL, FIT-CISL, UILTRASPORTI, FAISA-CISAL, and UGL AUTOFERRO in Basilicata and Puglia have joined the national 24-hour strike scheduled for Friday, November 8, 2024.

The national strike has been called for the following reasons:

• Interruption of negotiations for the renewal of the category’s National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL), which expired on December 31, 2023, along with the unsuccessful outcome of the legally required cooling-off and conciliation procedures;
• The unions report unacceptable positions by employer associations regarding issues raised by sector workers, including: Deterioration in working conditions and wages; Persistent staffing shortages within companies; Increasing physical and verbal assaults against front-line workers; Chronic difficulty in recruiting new drivers and other skilled personnel; The risk of reduced services and the inability to provide adequate public transportation.

These issues jeopardize both the survival and the broader interests of the sector.

• It should be noted, in compliance with Resolutions No. 18/138 of April 23, 2018 (Art. 16), No. 02/183 of November 20, 2002, No. 06/677 of December 6, 2006, and No. 03/19 of January 16, 2003, issued by the Guarantee Commission, that essential public transportation services will be guaranteed during the designated service guarantee time slots (from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.) in the manner determined by the company due to the lack of an agreement with the unions, with schedules indicated in the attached prospectus, along with union bulletins.
