Filcams Cgil, Fisascat Cisl and Uiltucs Uil Calabria proclaim the strike for the entire work shift on 15 August 2026. The decision was taken to reaffirm the value of rest on public holidays and the right of workers in the trade to spend the August holiday with their families. At the same time as the strike was announced, an appeal was made to the President of the Calabria Region to evaluate any useful initiative to encourage the closure of commercial activities on August 15th. «It is not just a trade union demand», Filcams CGIL, Fisascat CISL and Uiltucs UIL Calabria jointly declare, «but a choice of civility and balance between life and work times. Mid-August must also be able to represent for them an opportunity for rest, family sharing and participation in the social life of the communities.”
