Italy's biggest trade union, the
left-wing CGIL, on Tuesday threatened to stage a general strike
if the government's DEF economic blueprint does not devote
enough money to renewing the collective contracts of public
workers. The collective contracts had not been renewed for
several years, putting civil servants on a pay freeze. "Ready
for a general strike if the necessary resources are not made
available for the renewal of public contracts," said the CGIL's
public-sector arms.
