The Lazio Regional Administrative Court accepts the request of the USB union and, with a single-judge decree, suspends the order calling for the strike proclaimed for tomorrow, Friday 13 December 2024, in the transport sector .
The general strike proclaimed by the Unione Sindacale di Base will therefore last 24 hours, respecting the guarantee bands . The Minister of Transport and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini with the injunction had reduced it to 4 hours.
The Lazio Regional Administrative Court emphasizes that "the reasons which, in the absence of the notification of the aforementioned Commission (of guarantee, ed.), could support the order in question do not emerge from the burdened order". For the Administrative Court, " the recalled inconveniences arising from the strike appear to be attributable to the physiological effect of this form of abstention from work, nor do the reasons emerge on the basis of which the inconveniences would exceed this character, taking into account the binding presence of time slots guaranteeing full service ".
Salvini 's reaction was harsh: "We have done everything possible to defend the right to mobility of Italians. For yet another Friday of chaos and inconvenience, citizens will be able to thank a judge of the TAR of Lazio ."
USB, on the other hand, is exulting: "Tomorrow the strike will last 24 hours. A legitimate strike from the beginning", says Francesco Staccioli , of the union's confederal executive. "Today the pronouncement of the TAR that suspends the ordinance and sets the hearing on the merits of Salvini's ordinance, we believe that it is simply an act due for the justice of this country - he underlines - we ourselves had told the minister that this act had no justification . Not even the endorsement of the guarantee commission was missing".
