What this blog covers
Transport strikes are a subject where useful information and noise look very much alike. The date of a stoppage is easy to find; what is usually missing is the context that tells you whether that date actually affects your journey — the territorial scope, the category walking out, the real hours, and the bands in which service stays guaranteed.
The guides in this section exist for that. They are written to be read once and hold good for every strike after: law 146/1990 and the notice mechanism, the difference between a national and a company-level strike, how guaranteed trains work, and what you can ask of an operator when a service is not run.
