Anm-Comune, agreement reached strike avoided
What happened?
An agreement was reached between Anm, the union representing bus drivers in Naples, and the city of Naples. This averted a strike that would have started on Monday, December 12. The agreement was reached after a meeting that lasted more than five hours. The strike was called off after the city agreed to meet the union's demands for a pay increase and better working conditions.
What were the union's demands?
The union was demanding a pay increase of 100 euros per month, as well as better working conditions. The union also wanted the city to hire more drivers and to improve the maintenance of buses.
What did the city agree to?
The city agreed to give the drivers a pay increase of 50 euros per month. The city also agreed to hire more drivers and to improve the maintenance of buses. The city did not agree to the union's demand for a 100 euro per month pay increase.
What does this mean for commuters?
The agreement means that commuters will not have to worry about a bus strike on Monday. The agreement also means that the city will have to find a way to pay for the pay increases and the new drivers.
What's next?
The agreement between the union and the city is a positive step, but it is not a long-term solution. The city will need to find a way to fund the pay increases and the new drivers. The city will also need to address the union's other concerns, such as working conditions and the maintenance of buses.
