Italy: Unionized local transport workers to strike nationwide Nov. 27
Local public transport unions plan strike nationwide in Italy on Nov. 27; transport disruptions likely.
Local public transport workers plan to strike nationwide in Italy on Nov. 27; labor unions USB, CUB, and COBAS, alongside regional affiliated unions, will lead the strike of metro, bus, and local train transport personnel. Workers will strike to demand better working and salary conditions. Groups of striking workers could gather near major transport hubs to demonstrate throughout the day.
Local public transport strikes will likely affect travel to and from major national transport hubs, including airports, ports, and train stations. Authorities could deploy law enforcement officers to monitor any gatherings that may occur. Violence is unlikely.
Confirm all transit schedules in advance in Italy Nov. 27. Seek alternative means of transport if necessary and allow additional time to reach destinations. Avoid all protests as a standard security precaution, and heed advice of local authorities.
