Italian workers’ strike in #solidarity with #Gaza brings disruptions across the country
By GIADA ZAMPANO
Updated 3:02 AM EDT, September 23, 2025ROME (AP) — "Thousands of #protesters and #strikers calling for solidarity with #Palestinians in Gaza took to the streets in Italy on Monday, with some storming Milan’s central train station and clashing violently with police.
"#Italy’s grassroots #unions, which represent hundreds of thousands of people ranging from #schoolteachers to #metalworkers, called for a 24-hour #Generalstrike in both public and private sectors, including public transportation, trains, schools and ports.
"The strike caused disruptions across the country, with long delays for national trains and limited public transport in major cities, including Rome.
"In Milan, tensions escalated when dozens of protesters dressed in black and armed with batons tried to smash the main entrance of the city’s central train station, throwing smoke bombs, bottles and stones at police, who responded with pepper spray. In Bologna, police used water cannons to disperse a crowd of demonstrators who blocked a highway.
"The transit of goods was slowed or partially blocked by workers’ sit-ins and rallies in Italy’s main ports of Genoa and Livorno. More than 20,000 people gathered in front of Rome’s central station to protest the worsening #HumanitarianCrisis in Gaza.
"#Unions and #StudentOrganizations denounced “the inertia of the Italian and #EU governments.”
" 'If we don’t block what #Israel is doing, if we don’t block trade, the distribution of weapons and everything else with Israel, we will not ever achieve anything,' said Walter Montagnoli, national secretary of the CUB union, who joined a march in Milan."

@festlicheameise you might try approaching conservation builders or #conservation orgs. For example English Heritage regularly use blacksmiths with historic building skills, and conservation builders like https://www.hallconservation.com/ use #blacksmiths and #metalworkers for a variety of bespoke work. I can't speak to wages or length of contracts, but it's interesting work!

Panicha Kanyana and Anucha Chaipha were suspended from #YPCPrecision after their union #Thailand Autoparts and #MetalWorkers #Union (TAM) organized 400 workers in 2023. YPC transferred 38 unionists, refused them overtime. Trade unionists were threatened with temporary contracts and outsourced workers were brought in.
YPC stop #unionbusting, reinstate Panicha Kanyana with back pay, end discrimination against Anucha Chaipha.
