Strikes, two "Black Fridays" in less than a month ahead

The situation regarding truck protests is stabilizing, but two general strikes are planned in the coming weeks. The first strike on October 30, organized by Usb, will address rising costs, particularly fuel prices. Concurrently, Cobas and other unions will also strike against the cost of living and military spending. Protests are expected in major Italian cities, potentially affecting public order. A second general strike is scheduled for November 20, led by Cgil, focusing on economic policies and workers' rights. Cisl has distanced itself from the Cgil strike, citing disagreements over budgetary issues and defense spending.
