Even in Sardinia , as in all other regions of Italy, the entire sector of local public transport is massively joining the national strike .

Disruptions to users are recorded above all in large cities and in particular in Cagliari where, according to the first provisional data released by the local transport company Ctm, membership reached about 80% of the traveling staff . According to the CGIL, however, the abstention from work would even reach 100% .

Some more data will take place between the late evening of today and the morning of tomorrow when the protest also of the employees of the regional transport company (Arst) will end, scheduled for 6 pm, and that of the Nuoro ATP (until 11 pm). ).

The reasons for the jointly proclaimed strike concern the attacks and attacks , both physical and verbal, suffered by the traveling personnel of the TPL.

"Now there is no day in which there are no violent acts against bus drivers, train drivers, meter conductors and train leaders" explains the general secretary of Filt Sardinia , Arnaldo Boeddu . "Unfortunately, there was no shortage of delinquent and violent acts - he continues - which saw as protagonists hospitalized drivers following kicks and punches taken at stops, train leaders assaulted in the station and metro conductors stoned. A greater presence and attention from the police would be needed. in the focal points it is more critical than in every city ".

According to William Zonca , general secretary of Uil Trasporti Sardegna , "in the face of a society that is changing with great inconvenience and a lack of habit of respecting the rules, who cannot take charge of the management of these dynamics. . By now we record one or two episodes of violence monthly, but there are also those that are not reported. We need to put in place an campaign towards users, which also involves students, but deterrents are also needed, such as on-board cameras, law enforcement and vigilantes ".
