StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEUSI-CIT’s 24-hour action on May 1 targets wages, safety and precarious contracts, with rail, bus and airport disruptions expected
Italy’s USI-CIT union has called a nationwide 24-hour general strike for Wednesday, May 1, set to disrupt transport and public services. Rail operator Trenitalia warned regional and inter-city schedules could be thinned or cancelled outside the guaranteed windows of 06:00-09:00 and 18:00-21:00, and several airport ground-handling firms and bus operators received strike notices. The action cites wage stagnation, workplace safety and short-term contracts; airlines are drafting contingency plans in line with EU261 re-routing and refund rules.
In the United States, unions and community groups are organizing May 1 marches, walkouts and economic actions in multiple cities. Separately, bargaining fights continue: Harvard’s graduate student strike entered a second week as the university raised its pay and benefits offer, UFCW Local 7 workers at JBS’s Denver Processing authorized a strike, and IAM Local 778 members at Olin Winchester’s Lake City plant kept their walkout after rejecting a new contract. In Canada, Edmonton’s AltaSteel workers voted 98.5% to strike amid a lockout poll, while in the United Kingdom Birmingham’s refuse dispute moved toward a member vote on a deal.
Coordinated May Day actions in Italy and the United States underscore labor’s use of the holiday to concentrate pressure across sectors and regions.
