Italy to Launch National Agriculture-Procurement Database to Protect Migrant Seasonal Workers

Nationwide General Strike Brings Italy to a Standstill Over Cost-of-Living and Military Spending

Further action is likely in November, so global-mobility teams should expect intermittent disruption through year-end.
