Italy may see a national strike today by public sector workers in healthcare, education, and transport. The strike was called by the USI trade union and intends to bring attention to worker rights, safety in the workplace, and the privatization of public services.
Many workers in Italy’s private sector are taken aback by the intent to strike as they believe it is really the private sector (small businesses and the self-employed) who are struggling the most right now due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
