Rome, Atac strike postponed 13 October

After the intervention of the Prefecture which asked for a reduction compared to the announced 24-hour abstention, Orsa, Faisa Confail and Usb preferred to postpone it until a later date

The 24-hour transport strike scheduled for Friday 13 October in Atac and Rome Tpl has been postponed to a later date. The 24-hour agitation had been proclaimed by Orsa, Faisa Confail and Usb.

This was communicated by the Mobility Agency in a note specifying that "buses, trolleybuses, trams, subways and the Rome-Civitacastellana-Viterbo, Rome-Lido and Termini-Centocelle railways will be regular".

The postponement of the strike came on Wednesday afternoon after the Strike Guarantee Commission had signaled the difficult conditions in which the city would find itself, still crowded with tourists, and how the strike would have created further serious damage to the freedom of movement of Romans. The Mobility Department also intervened to signal the criticality of the situation.

The trade unions disputed the reasons illustrated by the Prefecture, but in the face of the Prefecture's will to proceed with a reduction of the strike, "in order to prevent other subjects from deciding the ways and times for exercising a constitutionally guaranteed right that is that of the strike”, have decided to postpone the 24-hour abstention of October 13 to a date to be set”.
