Italian unions declare general strike

Italy's three largest unions are to stage a general strike on 16 April to
protest against controversial labour law reforms, as relations with the
government sink to new lows.
The decision to set a date for the long-threatened strike came after the
Italian Government cancelled Tuesday's talks about the planned reforms with
unions and employer representatives.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi wants to give businesses much greater
freedom to hire and fire their workers, a move vehemently opposed by the
unions.
