The shutdown of the road haulage service in Calabria is confirmed for October 16. The strike was announced following a meeting in Catanzaro between a councilor and a trade association delegation. The protest was organized against the high cost of fuel and difficulties within the sector. Fedralog regional councilor Girolamo Giovinazzo stated the stoppage would lead to a total blocking of vehicles and prevent milk or pasta from reaching supermarket shelves.
