The full story

The SUNIA Abruzzo Molise union has announced its participation in a nationwide general strike called by the CGIL for November 20, 2026. The union intends to protest in various cities, including a scheduled rally at the Porta Nuova station in Pescara at 10:00 AM. The union's regional secretary, Geppino Oleandro, stated that the right to housing is a core demand, linking it to broader issues of labor dignity, wages, and public services. According to the union, the region faces a structural crisis characterized by 8,000 evictions over five years and 8,500 families on waiting lists for public housing. The union is calling for regulated, sustainable rents and increased investment in public residential infrastructure to address the needs of precarious workers, students, and pensioners.
