Local transport unions have called for a protest tomorrow, Friday, March 6th, involving workers from road transport companies in the CampaniaThe strike is scheduled from 8.30 to 12.30 and comes after yet another episode of violence against travelling staff. Air Campania.
The mobilization was triggered by the attack suffered by a driver while she was working on the line between Caserta e Castel VolturnoAccording to the unions, the driver had asked a passenger to validate her ticket during a stop at CapuaA heated argument initially ensued, with insults directed at the worker, before the incident escalated to the bus terminal, where the driver was physically assaulted by two women.
The driver was forced to seek treatment at the emergency room of the hospital Aversa Hospital for the injuries sustained. The incident, the unions emphasize, represents the third assault against company staff in less than a month and the second involving a female bus driver.
Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Ugl Fna, and Faisa Cisal speak of an escalation that is no longer tolerable and denounce a climate of growing insecurity for those who provide essential public services every day. For this reason, they are calling for immediate security measures, with increased controls on the most at-risk routes, a more constant police presence, and the opening of a discussion group at the Prefecture to address the issue structurally.
The demands also include investments in video surveillance systems, protected driver's cabins, and awareness campaigns against assaults on public transport staff. Tomorrow's strike is intended to send a strong message: worker safety, the unions warn, can no longer be considered a secondary concern.





I understand the protest and its reasons, but the situation is complex and the unions are demanding concrete solutions. They are demanding more controls; resources and planning are lacking. The driver was attacked and rescued in the emergency room. Investments in video surveillance, protected driver's cabins, and awareness campaigns are needed.
