Italy: Unionized Trenord rail workers set to strike in Lombardy from 03:00 Sept. 6 to 02:00 Sept. 7
Unionized Trenord rail workers plan to strike in Lombrdy, Italy, 03:00 Sept. 6 to 02:00 Sept. 7. Rail disruptions likely, protests possible.
Event
Unionized rail workers employed by Trenord plan to strike throughout the Lombardy region, including Milan, from 03:00 Sept. 6 to 02:00 Sept. 7. The strike has been organized over pay and working conditions. Trenord operates regional passenger trains throughout Lombardy, including to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP); service delays and cancelations are likely. However, trains are guaranteed 06:00-09:00 and 18:00-21:00.
Rail passengers will likely experience delays and cancellations on the Trenord regional rail network. Disruptions may continue through the morning of Sept. 7 as services return to normal. An increased demand for alternative public transportation is likely. Strike-related pickets could occur, although significant protest-related disruptions are unlikely.
Advice
Confirm all rail travel reservation details if planning to travel in Lombardy Sept. 6-7. Prepare for delays and congestion at railway stations; allow extra time for travel. Expect higher than normal demand for alternative transport options. Exercise caution near any workers' protests.
