Italy: Unionized teachers to strike nationwide Jan. 10
Unionized teachers plan to strike across Italy Jan. 10. Business disruptions likely.
Unionized teachers affiliated with the European Workers' Union Confederation (CSLE) plan to strike across Italy Jan. 10. The purpose of the labor action is to demand salary increases and improved working conditions.
Unless averted, the strike may disrupt businesses by prompting increased employee absenteeism. Moreover, striking teachers could demonstrate near educational facilities nationwide. Police may deploy near demonstration areas to facilitate gatherings; related transport disruptions are possible.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Plan accordingly for increased absenteeism among employees who are parents or guardians of school-aged children on Jan. 10; consider a liberal telecommuting policy for the duration of the strike.
