CGIL names 25 June for 24 hour public sector strike in Italy‏

Italy’s CGIL union centre announced yesterday that it will hold a national strike on June 25 over the government's 25 billion-euro austerity measures including cuts to funding for local governments and salary freezes. CGIL’s public sector members, the hardest hit by the government's austerity package, will strike for 24 hours, while its other members will strike for just four hours. http://www.iii.co.uk/news/?type=afxnews&articleid=7935300&subject=markets&action=article
The strike will be preceded on June 12 by CGIL protest marches and rallies around the country.
