Italy is gearing up for a day of widespread strikes that will significantly disrupt both local and national public transportation services, including rail travel, slated for Thursday, April 11th.
The strikes, orchestrated by prominent trade unions CGIL and UIL, are motivated by various grievances, including calls for improved workplace safety measures and comprehensive tax reforms.
Notably, the industrial action will not extend its reach to air travel, but commuters across Italy should brace themselves for significant disruptions as the strikes unfold at different intervals throughout the day, impacting various cities.
In addition to affecting public transport, the strikes will also halt post office services for four hours and bring construction activities to a standstill for eight hours.
Among the most affected sectors is the railway system, with Trenitalia trains expected to face cancellations and schedule alterations between the hours of 09:00 and 13:00. Furthermore, commuters relying on Trenord services in the northern Lombardia region, particularly around Milan, may experience disruptions during the same time frame.
