A civil service strike on Monday
called by CISL labor federation resulted in hundreds of workers
off the job, protesting a salary 'freeze' on their national
contracts.
"These workers have not had a pay raise in six years, which
means two to four thousand euros in lost income," said CISL
leader Annamaria Furlan.
Hundreds of CISL members gathered in front of the Lower
House in Rome, holding freezer bags containing flyers that read:
"Frozen for the past five years. The national contract for
public employees expired December 31, 2009".
