Strikes in Italy

Understanding the culture of striking in Italy with links to information on upcoming scheduled strike action, and further information from the Trades Unions.

Italy is prone to wildcat strikes, so much so that there is a commission to deal with and plan for industrial action. The strike authority's website is in Italian but has a calendar of upcoming strikes (scioperi). It is possible to search for information on strikes by date, region or sector.

  • The strike commissions website: Click here (in Italian)
    • to find out about forthcoming strikes click on calendario scioperi (strike schedule) and then on elenco scioperi for a full list of strikes in Italy.
  • The British Embassy also publishes information when major strikes are planned, especially those concerning public transport: Click here
