Metalworkers' unions FIOM, FIM and
UILM on Tuesday announced a 12-hour strike and no overtime for
two days after no agreement was reached with the Italian
federation of metalworking companies Federmeccanica on the
renewal of their national contract at a meeting at the
headquarters of industrial employers group Confindustria in
Rome.
Overall, the first four hours of strike will be organized
over the next few days at a local level while a second
eight-hour-long strike will take place on June 9 and 10,
depending on the region.
In addition, workers will refuse to do overtime on Saturday,
May 28, and on Saturday, June 11.
Last month, thousands of metalworkers went on strike against
Federmeccanica's proposal for the renewal of the contract, which
unions say give pay rises to only 5% of workers, those who are
currently under the regulated minimum.
