Latina local transport, strike confirmed but with two guarantee bands: what to know

Despite the resolution passed in the Latina city council, Ugl Autoferro has decided to confirm the 24-hour strike of local public transport called for today. «We have not had any type of reassurance and there are too many pending issues», explains the secretary Giuliano Errico. Workers will guarantee the service in two guarantee periods from 6.30 to 9.30 and from 1.30 and 4.30. For the rest of the day from the beginning to the end of the shift they will be on strike.

Strike

«Continuing the protest is necessary – explains the provincial secretary – because despite the proclamations in which all the issues had to be resolved, at the moment the problems remain. For example, nothing gives us hope that the Company will recognize the disbursement of meal vouchers not given from January to March and it is not known, to date, whether the agreement on the payment of the same will be maintained in the future, as early as next month. Nothing suggests an improvement to the network, which is necessary and necessary if we really want to provide an important public service such as efficient and guaranteed transport to the citizens, and unfortunately nothing suggests that there is a real desire to resolve all the corporate issues listed in the dispute which is leading to these strike actions.”

«Despite our dismay at how the parties involved managed industrial relations, the doubts we had raised about the signed agreement are unfortunately reality, nothing has changed. All this while today we should already have an idea at least of the summer service, and of the tender for the assignment of the service expiring in 2025. We believe that the sailing by sight that we have been experiencing since 2018 is not a far-sighted choice and that it is sector workers and citizens are paying too high a price.” The UGL therefore proclaims the new strike lasting 24 hours today with the hope that “our proposals will be listened to, in the hope of saving a now sick service”.
