Seven Million Strike In Italy  
Seven million industrial and transportation workers went on strike December 13 in all major cities in Italy. Above, workers at Fiat Mirafiori marched in San Carlo Square in Turin during a solidarity demonstration with mechanical and metalworkers demanding a wage increase. It was the first national strike called by the major union federations since president Romano Prodi took office last spring. In the major cities all public transportation was at a standstill.
