Now I've heard of everything

Italians strike all the time for just about every reason, but here's one we've never heard of, even after living here for a year and a half: a gas station strike. Between the 21st and 25th, there will be a gas station strike on a particular stretch of expressway. What?!?

Ok, for real this time, have a good weekend!

They're probably striking because they want more vacation time? They get so many days already that they'd never work if they got more.

It's odd here when it comes to striking in general, though. These people will strike all the time, but they'll announce strikes pretty far in advance and they'll only strike for a few hours. For example, there will be an Alitalia pilot strike from 8am to noon on February 23. Weird.
