Event

Workers of the National Health Service will hold a 24-hour nationwide strike on Friday, November 30, over working conditions. Disruptions (longer waiting times, appointment cancelations) are expected in medical facilities. Protests are possible throughout the day, along with the associated traffic disruptions.

As a reminder, ground staff at Milan's Linate (LIN) and Malpensa (MXP) international airports will hold a 24-hour strike on the same day.
