TAR rejects unions' appeal agst back-to-work order- ministry

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 28 - The transport ministry said on Thursday that the regional administrative court (TAR) of Lazio has rejected an appeal filed by a number of unions against a back-to-work order issued by Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini for transport workers during a national strike scheduled on Friday.
    The general strike proclaimed by the CGIL and UIl unions against the 2025 budget will therefore remain 8 hours for the entire work shift for all public and private sectors, with the exception of transport where it remains reduced to 4 hours, in particular for local public transport, air transport and maritime transport, based on the ordinance signed by Salvini.
    The stop for planes, including air traffic controllers, will be from 10 am to 2 pm.
    The transport ministry said Salvini expressed "great satisfaction" after TAR's ruling.
    "I defend the right to move of Italians", stated the minister.
