Italy: Unionized railway personnel to strike across Calabria May 30

Unionized railway personnel employed by Ferrovie della Calabria, the Calabria region's primary rail operator, plan to strike across the region 00:01-23:59 May 30. The purpose of the work stoppage is to denounce alleged poor management and company decisions reducing bonuses.

Rail transport disruptions are likely across Calabria during the work stoppage and may persist into the early morning hours of May 31. Picket protests are possible, particularly at train stations; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that take shape. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out during any such gatherings.
