Deputy Premier, Transport Minister
and right-wing League party leader Matteo Salvini said Wednesday
he would table new rules on strikes at the next cabinet meeting
saying norms needed to be changed in everyone's interests after
racking up a strike a day this year.
Speaking ahead of a Thursday-Friday 24 hour general transport
strike in which unions have said they will ignore the minister's
back-to-work order to cut the stoppage to four hours, Salvini
said "The right to strike belongs to everyone, it is in the
Constitution but it will be appropriate to review the
legislation".
"I will bring it to the table of the majority but in the same
interest of the workers and the unions", he added.
"If you have to go on strike every day, because since this
government took office we have reached a thousand strikes, it
means that the very instrument of the strike no longer works".
