The two-hour national strike proclaimed by CGIL and UIL, together with the construction and metalworking categories, has begun after the tragedy in Florence last Friday, in which five workers lost their lives.
And they take to the streets demanding "No more deaths at work".
Various territorial events organized by the two unions, the main one in Florence, where the general secretaries Maurizio Landini and Pierpaolo Bombardieri will participate in the afternoon.
The protest will be held right near the site of the collapse.
In Rome, CGIL and UIL will be, again in the afternoon, in Piazza Santi Apostoli.
In Milan they will be in garrison in front of the prefecture.
The strike concerns the last two hours of each shift for the employees of Fiom, Fillea, Uilm and Feneal, while the other categories have planned mobilization initiatives and assemblies in the workplace.
The CISL, however, does not go on strike and starts a national mobilization for safety and health protection, with assemblies in the workplace.
The general secretary Luigi Sbarra participates this morning in the assembly of Filca, the construction category, in a construction site for the redevelopment of the offices of the Bank of Italy in Rome.
