All travelers beware: Italy is expecting a nationwide rail strike by Trenitalia staff on Friday 14 April, from 9 am to 5 pm, with major disruption expected to train services across the country.
The industrial action has been called jointly by the Italian trade unions Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Ugl Ferrovieri, Slm Fast Confsal and Orsa Ferrovie.
The unions said in a statement that the planned strike is in protest over the “worsening” of working conditions for railway workers as well as for cleaning staff and catering contractors.
Unions also called for a “serious confrontation” to resolve the “critical issues” facing Trenitalia employees.
