TAR halts Salvini's back-to-work order for transport strike

Politics

The regional administrative court (TAR) of Lazio on Thursday ruled in favour of an appeal filed by the USB union against the back-to-work order signed by Transport Minister Matteo Salvini on December 10 which reduced to four hours a 24-hour general strike in the transport sector proclaimed, CE Report quotes ANSA.
The public transport strike was proclaimed for Friday, December 13, by the USB union.
The administrative court ruled that there were no reasons to back such an order, in the absence of a request from Italy's strike watchdog, and that the "disruption to be caused by the strike" cited in the ordinance, "appears to be linked to the physiological impact of this type" of protest, adding no motivations were mentioned in the measure based on which such disruptions would be out of the ordinary, given that the stoppage would not affect guaranteed bands for commuters.
Last month, TAR Lazio rejected an appeal filed by a number of unions against another back-to-work order issued by Salvini for transport workers during a national strike scheduled on November 29.
The general strike proclaimed by the CGIL and UIl unions against the 2025 budget was reduced to 4 hours, in particular for local public transport, air transport and maritime transport, based on the ordinance.
