Italy: Transport personnel to strike nationwide May 6

Public transport personnel affiliated with various unions plan to strike across Italy May 6. The purpose of the work stoppage is to demand increased salaries and improved working conditions. Exact strike times vary by location, with some providers striking from 00:01-23:59 and others only walking out for part of the day. Planned work stoppages include:

• Calabria: Calabria Railways (Ferrovie della Calabria) walkout 11:30-15:30.

• Rome: 24-hour walkout by bus, trams, trolleybus, subway, and Termini-Centocelle railway workers; however, services are guaranteed from the start of operations through 08:29 and from 17:00 to 20:00.

Public transport disruptions, including delays and cancellations, are likely nationwide throughout May 6 and may linger into the early May 7. Picket protests are possible at transport hubs; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any protests that take shape.
