Italy: Unionized workers plan to conduct strikes at ports nationwide April 3-5
Unionized port workers plan to strike across Italy April 3-5. Port service disruptions likely, particularly on April 5.
Unionized port workers plan to strike across Italy April 3-5. The purpose of the work stoppage is to demand salary increases and improved working standards. Participants will engage in sporadic stoppages April 3-4, with more significant walkouts likely on April 5.
Port service and maritime shipping disruptions are likely on affected days and may linger through April 6. Picket demonstrations are possible at ports nationwide; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely at any protests that take shape. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out at demonstrations.
Reconfirm maritime shipments and travel scheduled for the affected period. Allow additional time for all maritime services, including shipments and travel, on the affected days. Consider rescheduling sensitive maritime services to avoid the affected days. Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
