Buon giorno tutti.

After yesterday's little problems with Sicily, we start on the mainland this morning.
In all major cities taxis are on strike until 22:00 this evening; including at airports, ports, railway stations, and bus stations.

Road blocks by the hauliers association are already in place this morning on the main A1 autostrada at Nola, and on the SS7 bis at Palma Campania. These are expected to spread throughout the country this morning, and will be in place until 27/01. They are being supported by the forconi (pitchfork) movement which has spread to the mainland from Sicily. Expect trouble with this one.
On 27/01 the railways will be on strike for 24 hours.
Petrol and service stations will strike for 10 days on a date to be announced.
Pharmacies will be on strike on Feb. 1st

In the meantime the good news is that Sicily is slowly returning to normal.
Right, now I'm off to the garden and sod 'em all !

saluti,
eddied

It's difficult to say how ferries may be affected. Today the situation is worsening minute by minute. As we speak most major trunk routes and autostrade links are becoming choked up. Certainly anybody trying to get to Genova, Ancona, Bari, Civitavecchia etc. will have difficulties today.

You can see webcams realtime on

www.autostrade.it

You can also tune in to FM 103.3 Isoradio; the nationwide traffic /news/music channel, which gives bulletins in English about once an hour:

buon viaggio,

They are obviously ****ed off about something and we have professional protesters that will join in for any reason.

Achieve anything I doubt it

Some blocks still in place and causing disruption, but expected to be liffted during the course of the day (new problems arising - earthquae)
