League calls unions 'ridiculous' in striking agst pay hike

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 30 - The rightwing League party said Wednesday unions who have called a general strike November 29 against the 2025 budget bill were "ridiculous" because they were in fact protesting against a measure that actually allegedly increases workers' incomes.
    "Two far left Italian unions are striking against the salary increase for 14 million employees up to 40,000 euros of income.
    Ridiculous, " said the League on the CGIL and UIL trade union federations' strike call.
    "Thanks instead to those (other) workers' representatives who, although sometimes critical in the interests of their members, make proposals and not just protests".
