Commuters in Trieste and other Italian cities face disruption to local public transport services on Monday 9 October due to a national 24-hour strike.
The industrial dispute, called by the USB trade union representing public transport workers, will affect bus, subway and tram services, with strike timetables varying from city to city.
The nationwide strike action was originally scheduled for 29 September but was postponed after Italy’s transport minister Matteo Salvini issued an injunction to reduce the industrial action to four hours.
“Four hours is not enough for workers to assert their rights”, the union said in a statement, underlining that the strike on 9 October would be for 24 hours. More on the region’s transport services website.
