Italy: Transportation Workers In Milan Threaten To Strike Over Mandatory Covid Pass

Some employees for Milan’s public transportation company, are threatening to strike as the mandatory covid pass came into force in Italian workplace on Friday

The possible strikes were revealed when a lawyer claimed that workers from the Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM) were discussing the idea in online and threatening to block public transportation across the Italian city.

All workers in Italy are now obliged to present a coronavirus health pass before entering their workplaces, a move that is expected to leave some industries struggling with staff shortages.

Breitbart reports: According to a report from Il Giornale, however, the likelihood of major disruptions may not be high. An estimated 90 per cent of ATM employees are currently vaccinated — but the newspaper notes that the few workers could still cause inconveniences.

A local tram driver with twenty years of experience in his position said that workers have become polarised over the vaccine passport, known as the Green Pass in Italy. While some workers have embraced the vaccine, others claim it is a “tool of dictatorship,” the tram driver said.

Friday marked the first day the Green Pass is required in workplaces across Italy. All workers in the public and private sectors must either be fully vaccinated, produce a negative Covid test, or prove immunity from having already had the disease.

On Friday, workers at the Port of Trieste and a crowd of an estimated 6,000 people gathered to protest the Green Pass.

Stefano Puzzer, spokesman for the Coordination of Port Workers of Trieste (CLPT), commented on the protest, saying: “From the state came an incitement to violence when they tried to buy us off by offering us free [Covid tests].”

“There are 400 dockers here today. For two years we worked in conditions where 10 per cent of the health protocol was respected: the only one who was interested in us was the Port Authority. In response, what have we been told? If you don’t have a Green Pass, you can’t work,” he complained.

Puzzer went on to state that the dockworkers would continue to protest until the Green Pass obligation was cancelled by the government.

Protests also emerged in Genoa on Friday at the ferry terminal and the international airport terminal, which were blocked by protestors against the Green Pass.

  1. Unite & stand strong against this tyranny. NO vax & no testing; it’s been proven that testing swabs implant AI in you that goes into the brain. These satanists are pure evil.

  2. Threaten? Italians strike over nothing all the time. Now they’re just threatening over this tyranny? They’ll shut it down. They do it all the time. Often for ‘air quality’. Only cars allowed on the road during those shutdowns are government vehicles. Surprised right?
