What's Happening
On July 15, 2026, a nationwide strike is scheduled to affect the railway concessions sector. The work stoppage, called by the COBAS LAVORO PRIVATO unions, will last for the entire working shift for each affected employee. This means that disruptions could extend throughout the day, significantly impacting services.
Who Is Affected
The strike specifically involves the personnel of the company ELIOR, ITINERE division, responsible for catering and logistics services on board Trenitalia trains. Therefore, all those essential services for passenger comfort and management during journeys, such as food and beverage service and other logistical activities on board, are at risk.
How to Prepare
A strike of this magnitude requires careful planning. If you have travel plans by train on July 15, 2026, it is crucial to take precautions:
- Check Your Travel Plans: Check official communications from Trenitalia and other transport authorities well in advance. There may be changes to departures, cancellations, or delays.
- Alternative Transportation: Consider using alternative means of transport if absolutely necessary. Look into buses, carpooling, or other mobility services.
- Anticipate Your Needs: If you expect to use onboard services, bring your own food and drinks to mitigate potential disruptions.
- Stay Constantly Informed: The situation regarding a strike can evolve. Being updated in real-time is key to managing unforeseen circumstances effectively.
