Vacationers must be very strong right now. In June there is a large-scale strike in Italy. In addition to train traffic, air traffic is also affected. A “significant impact” is to be expected.
A difficult week in public transport is expected in Italy. On Thursday, the railway staff halted work for 24 hours. The protest affects not only the state railway FS, but also the staff of the private railway company Italo, unions reported. The strike will begin at 3 a.m. Thursday (July 13) and last until 2 a.m. Friday.
The FS subsidiary Trenitalia warned that the strike could have a “significant impact” on train traffic and lead to “complete and partial cancellation of trains”. Trenitalia railway staff once again calls for “an adequate recruitment plan and a reduction in staff workload, 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.
Air traffic disruptions
On Saturday (July 15) there are cancellations in air traffic. Ground staff at Italian airports, handling and check-in services will strike from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The unions complain that her contract expired six years ago and are therefore urging an immediate renewal.
Malta Air pilots will then strike from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Also on Saturday, Vueling pilots and flight attendants will strike from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Italian trade unions called the strike “because the company is not prepared to establish healthy and constructive working relations with the unions”.
