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."

March 3 -- #Kronstadt is disturbed. It disapproves of the #Govemment’s drastic methods against the dissatisfied #workers. The men of the warship #Petropavlovsk have passed a resolution of sympathy with the #strikers...

👀 A start to the end of the #newspersons extensive #strike in PA? Feds file for a temporary injunction to force Pittsburgh News Union #strikers back to their desks.

Gotta love cricket commentary, speaking about the potential for a close finish -
Isa Guha ‘do you want a climax?’
Cue Brett Lee, in a fit of giggles, ‘Yeah just not from Marcus Stoinis!’
Director cuts to quick ad break!

In a video, #Fain said a #nonunion contractor driving an SUV hit 5 picketers while leaving a #GM parts depot in #Flint, #Michigan. 2 of the workers went to the hospital for treatment. The SUV fled…. At a #Stellantis parts depot in #California, nonunion truckers crossing the picket line have pulled #guns on #strikers, Fain said. In #Massachusetts, a #UAW member & a state #senator were #hit by “cars on the picket line,” Fain said, w/o clarifying whether the drivers were connected to the automaker.

"I'm going to take the phrase "cross the picket line" away from tumblr until #everyone actually starts reading #strike demands and listening to union leadership and strike captains.
Random #bloggers declaring things "crossing the picket line" means nothing. Read the actual goddamn strike #information from the actual goddamn #strikers. Stop calling for your own #boycotts, stop trying to decide what is and isn't #scabbing based on your own #opinions, stop making judgment calls disconnected from the actual demands of the actually-striking #workers.
Y'all have got to start reading the #unions' official documents before arbitrarily deciding what is or isn't "proper #solidarity" based entirely on your own feelings. Stop muddying the waters just because it makes you feel more involved."

Saw the trees #universalstudios fucked up in person (in passing, but still). Those poor fucking trees.
Didn't see any #wga or #sagaftra #strikers to honk and wave solidarity for - not sure where they were #picketing today but it wasn't along where we were driving! 🤷🏻

Finally, finally the #NHS has a #workforce plan which involves a doubling of the training places for #Doctors & #nurses.
This is (perhaps) a decade late, but welcome nonetheless. However, now the Q. is how to retain them once they've been trained?
Here's an idea:
listen to the #strikers & pay NHS staff properly!as has been demonstrated conclusively by the #Tories defunding of the #healthservice, you cannot have a world class #publichealth system on the cheap.
-
In advance of the #JuniorDoctors' strike, we need to be clear what is going on here.
A group of #health professionals have been pushed & pushed until they see no alternative but to strike; while a Govt. that is trying to find ways of distracting us from what is really going on will seek to blame the #strikers for the disruption.
So:
The #Tories have engineered the #NHScrisis, of which these strikes are merely a symptom.

After some time it seems #RishiSunakPM & his cabinet have been unable to convince the majority of the UK public (#voters) that the #strikers are the enemy... rather support for most strikes remains strong.
Of course, the moves to now settle (or at least appear to be interested in settling) the disputes are informed by these figures, but, as I keep noting:
Importantly, without budget support any 'settlement' is just #austerity, with an intent of later blaming strikers for #publicservice cuts!
-
It seems #RishiSunakPM finally may(!!) be considering back-dated pay rises for #strikers in the #publicsector...
but as before this is so much hogwash if #JeremyHunt continues to hold the line that all pyrites must come from within existing/settled budgets... if so, this is just another run at defunding public services (most crucially the #NHS) & will merely shift the problem from one aspect of the (various) public services' organisation to another...
-
While I'm sure no-one here thinks the #strikers are rabble-rousing anti-social lefties seeking to disrupt our wonderful system, it nevertheless is worth reading these first-hand accounts of the desperate circumstances that have driven people onto the #picketlines
