The four trade unions organising in the private waste sector (FP-CGIL, FIT CISL, UILTRASPORTI and FIADEL) have congratulated their members on the very high levels of support for the strike across the country. The unions estimate that nearly nine in 10 workers joined the action that took place on 16 and 17 January, mainly in protest at the employers’ refusal to re-negotiate a sector-level agreement (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 4 November and December 2011).
