Buzzer,
Perhaps the strikes started out as a symptom of the problem
with the Italian economy, but now they are just too
frequently called by the heads of the unions to be effective for
why they are called. They are effective to be a nuisance for
the rest of the public though.
The strike of yesterday was the second strike to show
disagreement with the budget of 2006. Not the first, but the
second.
There are just too many strikes in Italy. Employers don’t want
employees that go on strike 6 times a year, so the ‘precarious’
job market grows.
And while strikes of ‘one day or another’ might not do harm to
the Italian economy overall, they do harm to one’s personal
economy, and if enough people are affected, then harm to the
Italian economy may happen.

You say, “these strikes are stagnating everything”, but this is certanly not true: one day or another of strike doesn’t do no harm to a normal society.

The real tragedy is that Italy is in such a bad situation that strikes might actually be the last drop. But this is not workers’ fault, isn’t it.
We can or cannot endure a strike, agree with it or disagree and curse the privileged workers who strike.
But it’s not like there are many other means for the workers to have their voice heard.
Any other possible mean is worse that striking (rioting, as in France?)

Just imagine to be part of one of these category that strike. I mean, I don’t go to march or anything (last time I did I was 22 years old I think), but I am thankful if someone is there fighting a battle for me too. Don’t you?
