Salvini says will table new strike rules

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 11 - Deputy Premier, Transport Minister and right-wing League party leader Matteo Salvini said Wednesday he would table new rules on strikes at the next cabinet meeting saying norms needed to be changed in everyone's interests after racking up a strike a day this year.
    Speaking ahead of a Thursday-Friday 24 hour general transport strike in which unions have said they will ignore the minister's back-to-work order to cut the stoppage to four hours, Salvini said "The right to strike belongs to everyone, it is in the Constitution but it will be appropriate to review the legislation".
    "I will bring it to the table of the majority but in the same interest of the workers and the unions", he added.
    "If you have to go on strike every day, because since this government took office we have reached a thousand strikes, it means that the very instrument of the strike no longer works".
