Overview
- A coalition of base unions has proclaimed a 24‑hour national strike for Friday, 29 May, with rail staff staging action from 21:00 on Thursday 28 May until 21:00 on Friday 29 May.
- Rail operators including Trenitalia, Italo and Trenord have published lists of long‑distance services that will run and warned of cancellations and delays outside guaranteed windows.
- City transport firms have set protected time slots for commuters, with Rome’s ATAC guaranteeing service until 8:30 and from 17:00 to 20:00 and Milan’s ATM warning of major gaps between 8:45–15:00 and after 18:00.
- ENAC confirmed protected flight windows of 07:00–10:00 and 18:00–21:00 while health and school authorities said legally required emergency and minimum services will be maintained even as routine activities may be suspended.
- Operators urge passengers to check official channels for real‑time updates and use published refund or rebooking rules, since the strike falls just before the 2 June holiday and could leave millions facing cancelled trips and longer waits.
