Europe braces for strikes
European countries are preparing for a week of strikes and protests across transport, railways, factories, universities and services, amid demands for higher wages, better working conditions and safety, and opposition to privatization and layoffs. In Italy, actions are unfolding in Milan, Venice, Bari and Naples, leading up to a general strike on November 20. French unions have called a strike for November 17 to demand higher wages and pensions and an end to the deduction of one day’s pay when an employee is sick; the call covers around 5.8 million public-sector workers. In Spain, calls for railway strikes continue over safety and maintenance concerns. In Germany, students are preparing to protest on November 20, with warning strikes at factories also possible, following earlier actions involving around 464,000 workers. Strikes in transport, energy, health and education continue in Britain, while workers at “SAS Link” in Norway plan to widen their strike on November 24 to include an additional 610 members.
