Italy’s transport sector faces disruption on Friday 20 May due to a national general strike to protest against the government’s military spending on Ukraine which, trade unions say, would be better spent on increasing workers’ wages.
Road and rail services could face delays and cancellations over 24 hours on Friday, with possible inconveniences also facing those traveling by air or by sea.
The nationwide action will affect local, regional and national transport systems, with strike schedules varying from city to city.
Train services provided by Trenitalia and Italo will be affected by the strike over a 24–hour period, from 21.00 on Thursday 19 May, with both companies guaranteeing certain services at peak time
