Protests have erupted across Italy with thousands taking to the streets against the mandatory Green Pass which came into force today for all workers.
Police were out in force, schools closed early and embassies issued warnings of possible violence after ugly scenes at the protests in Rome over the weekend.
Workers blocked ports as they refused to follow the new rules which require them to show proof of vaccination, a recent negative test or of having recovered from Covid-19 in the past six months.
Implementation of the new requirement varies.
Electronic scanners that can read mobile phone QR codes with the Green Pass were set up at bigger places of employment, such as the office of Italian Premier Mario Draghi and the headquarters of state railway company Trenitalia.
But at smaller places of work, from restaurants to tennis clubs, employers and managers had to download an app that can scan the codes.
While it was unclear how strictly Italy would enforce the requirement, the fear of spot checks drove employers to comply, at least initially.
Sanctions for employers who fail to check employees range from 400 to 1,000 euros.
A worker who fails to show a Green Pass at work is considered to be absent without justification. If the worker shows up anyway without a valid Green Pass, he or she could face fines from 600 euros to 1,500 euros.

Italy already had a low employment rate (58%) to begin with. Italy wants to make it so that literally less than half of the population are working.
The government is the virus.
I hope the old-timers are reminding their grand-children and great-grand-children how they solved the Mussolini problem.
Ping.

Sounds like a great pretense for trotting out Guaranteed Basic Income, along with an associated social credit scoring system and all of the social controls it entails.
Mussolini would be proud.
Ah...proof that you had Covid in the past 6 months is included in the pass criteria. Remember that....
Importing more Chinese laborers should solve that problem. It worked so well in 2019-2020 when they first infected Italy
I don’t care how many “accommodations” they’re willing to give, none of it is legal or right. I don’t care if my employer is going to mandate the vaccine but allow us to test weekly, I don’t do it. I’m 100% remote. I don’t interact with coworkers physically ever. I’ve never met anyone on my team in person. Getting tested is absurd, and I’m not going to comply. I’ll take my lumps, but this is a hill to die on.
When we were told “two weeks to flatten the curve” I commented that, when the government is involved, the cure is usually worse than the disease. I didn’t realize at the time the extent this would become the case with COVID19.
What’s happening now is even worse than the cancel culture. When the powers that be attack your ability to survive, lethal force is justified.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
Coming to a country near you? ping.
This was never about a virus. It is to tighten the iron grip of fascist governments.
Likes his slave collar.
The way to stop that is to make sure the spot checkers fear you.
I agree with you totally.
Just a dry run for the coming mark of the beast...
So many “Made in Italy” products are actually made by Chinese brought into Italy in slave like conditions
