Disruptions also in Sardinia this morning, due to the eight-hour strike by workers of the Ferrovie dello Stato and contracting groups.
Delays and cancellations until 5pm in the main stations of the Island due to the protest proclaimed by Filt Cgil, Fit-Cisl and Uiltrasporti.
"After more than 16 months of failure to renew the national contract - explains the general secretary of Filt Cgil Sardegna Arnaldo Boeddu - not only is there no glimmer or opening to be able to close in a short time a contract that concerns over one hundred thousand workers, but the negotiations continue without any concrete progress . We would have liked to avoid yet another inconvenience to those who use the railway service daily for work, study or simply for recreational activities, but the cooling-off procedures to avoid this first strike of the entire sector have been of no use".
"On the one hand - continues Boeddu - an inflation that in recent years has had a negative impact on wages , on the other an employers' attitude aimed exclusively at worsening the living conditions of workers. If concrete and immediate actions are not taken, today's action will be followed by further strikes that could last for entire days. The Sardinian railway workers are truly tired from increasingly frenetic work shifts followed by continuous attacks and, last but not least, inadequate pay ".
