On the other side of the street, however, there is another reality. The Apple workers in Bologna who are striking together with the unions and have organized a picket with flags and signs right in front of the store, just a few steps from the Two Towers.
The reasons for the strike
The strike today is national. The reason? The accusation by the strikers is that “most Apple employees continue to work in critical conditions. In the last two years there have been several resignations, but the people who left have never been replaced with new hires. This has led and still leads to an overload of work for the employees and a very stressful work environment,” they report.
