In Italy, a significant wave of protests has emerged as workers demand more attention to labor issues from the government.

Stefania Calcagnolo, a 49-year-old cleaning sector worker, expressed her determination to join the demonstrations despite the financial burden of missing a day's work.

The recent strike saw half a million people take to the streets, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with the government's financial policies, which many feel neglect labor concerns.

In response, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini emphasized his commitment to maintaining public transport services during strikes, ensuring millions of Italians can still travel.

With 15 more strikes planned, including a general strike on December 13, tensions between workers and the government are set to continue.
