Trucker protests have companies on brink of collapse - industry associations

Industrial associations in Campania and Puglia warned that member companies face collapse due to truckers' strikes over rising gas prices. They emphasized the urgent need for resolution, as production halts and supply shortages impact consumers and businesses. Protests have led to empty supermarket shelves and fuel shortages at airports. While some trucking associations have suspended their strikes after government aid announcements, protests in southern Italy are set to continue until further discussions occur. The trucking industry is calling for government intervention to lift roadblocks and restore normal operations.
