New strike by Atac and Rome Tpl and risk of inconvenience on Friday 29 September for those who have to travel to Rome between 8.30 and 12.30: the USB has proclaimed a strike for local public transport, reduced to four hours at the request of the Prefecture from the initials 24, with buses and metro which could therefore stop at the end of the morning guarantee slot (8.30).
The strike - reads the website of the Guarantee Commission on strikes in essential public services - was called for "public and private companies, with public capital", "for mixed capital companies" and for "companies, companies, consortia and cooperatives contracting public services in the Municipality of Rome”.
As mentioned, the Prefecture of Rome intervened on the strike and agreed to limit its duration only to the morning since the "simultaneous abstention from work of the personnel of both companies lasting 24 hours for the date of 29 September, involving almost all of the capital's transport system could cause users significant difficulties, aggravated by the fact that the abstentions take place on Fridays, notoriously characterized by a considerable presence of travelers and commuters, and by the increase in tourist flows expected in the days from 28 September to 1 October determined by favorable climatic conditions».
At the root of the strike, explained by the Union of Basic Unions, "the inaction of the junta and the absence of courage", which according to the union acronym "is weighing like a boulder on the head of the category, the only one that should be guaranteed because he carries on the barrack”. With the choice of the Atac arrangement with creditors (decided by the Municipality to avoid the bankruptcy of the company burdened by a 2016 deficit of over 200 million or at least to postpone it), according to the union, the junta "frees itself of political responsibilities" adding that "even for the workers of private companies, the promise of a real change of pace with the previous administrations has now become a chimera".
