(tr: But this street murder/
a scab has killed in the name of capital)

What I understand is that Abd Elsalam who was killed was a regular contract worker who joined the fight for regularization of coworkers on temp contracts who'd been promised contracts, but this promise was reneged on.

Yesterday, about 200 USB unionists and logistics workers blocked train tracks in the station of Piacenza, and here are mobilizations for larger demos going on in several cities.
