Italy : strike for railway safety
8 février 2021

The member organisations of the Railways Without Borders Network and the International Labor Network of Solidarity and Struggle support the strike organised on 9 February by the Italian railway unions ORSA Ferrovie and CUB Trasporti.
Safety is a priority in a sector like the railways. It is a priority for railway workers. It is not a priority for the bosses of railway companies !
Workers in the railway sector pay the consequences : fatal accidents, serious injuries, illnesses and so on. Users too : savings in staff and infrastructure cause accidents.
Those who know the railway best are the people who run it every day ! Enough technocrats and politicians ! Let us take the means to impose a social, safe, ecological railway !
