Many of Italy's public-sector workers
took part in a one-day strike on Wednesday.
The strike was called by unions to demand the renewal of the
civil servants' collective contract, which expired late in 2018,
and call for a large-scale recruitment drive and improved
workplace safety.
The strike is not affecting essential services provided by local
authorities and the national health system.
However, some non-urgent appointments may be postponed.
Civil Service Minister Fabiana Dadone said she has called a
meeting with unions on Thursday to discuss the contract renewal.
Dadone said the the question should not just be about money but
also about the "valorization of the personnel".
