Italian labor movement

The Italian labor movement is a history of workers organizing to improve their working conditions, rights, and wages. It began in the late 19th century amidst industrialization, leading to the formation of trade unions and political groups like the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL). Over time, it advocated for reforms such as better hours, safety standards, and social protections. The movement has also played a role in broader social and political changes, including Italy’s resistance to fascism and the promotion of workers’ rights within the country’s democratic systems.
