The protest affects not only the state railways FS, but also the staff of the private railway company Italo, unions reported. The strike begins at 3am on Thursday (July 13) and is scheduled to last until 2am on Friday.

The FS subsidiary Trenitalia warned that the strike could have a “significant impact” on rail traffic and lead to “complete and partial train cancellations”. The Trenitalia railway staff once again calls for “an adequate recruitment plan and a reduction in the workload of staff, as well as technological investments, professional development and training”. At Italo, on the other hand, the unions are demanding the extension of the contract that expired in December 2021.

On Saturday (July 15) there will be cancellations in air traffic. Ground staff at Italian airports, handling and check-in services are on strike from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The unions complain that her contract has expired six years ago and are therefore calling for its immediate renewal.

Malta Air pilots will then go on strike from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Also on Saturday, Vueling pilots and flight attendants will go on strike from 10am to 6pm. The Italian unions called the strike “because the company is unwilling to develop healthy and constructive industrial relations with the unions.
