Thousands of bank workers have taken to the streets of Milan, Rome, and other major cities for Italy's first financial strike in 13 years. The action was a success with a 90% participation level ensuring 92% of bank agencies stayed closed. 5000 workers took to the streets in Milan alone.

So far ABI, the Italian Banking Association, haven't changed their position, after having unilaterally denounced on September 16 the National Collective Agreement that has served the country so well in the past years. As a result, Italian unions will continue demonstrating and have issued a Statement (attached in Italian).

Alongside attending the strike, UNI Global Union is supporting the Italian workers through a Click&Go message to ABI. With one click here:  http://bit.ly/HlAWP7  you can also lend your support. Translation of the letter that will be sent to ABI in English, German, Spanish and French is available in the related files.
