However, workers from Apple Retail Italia, which operates 17 stores including those in Piazza Liberty, Milan, and via del Corso, Rome, with 1,600 employees, have announced a national strike. The strike, called by Filcams CGIL, Fisascat CISL, and Uiltucs, aims to pressure the company into negotiations on hiring, workload, and contract stabilization for temporary workers. The unions claim that employees are facing increasing workloads, insufficient staff, and high productivity pressure, and have proposed measures to address these issues.",
  "summary": "The agitation called for on September 18th due to the stalemate of negotiations with the multinational company on hiring, workloads, and stabilization of fixed-term contracts.",
