What's Happening
The Italian railway sector is bracing for a 24-hour strike set to begin on September 7, 2026, at 9:18 PM and conclude on September 8, 2026, at 9:17 PM. This nationwide industrial action will affect the machine and onboard staff of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group. The strike has been called following a national assembly convened by the PDM/PDB unions, aiming to highlight specific demands related to the working conditions and contracts of the affected personnel.
Who Is Affected
This strike will specifically involve machine and onboard staff belonging to the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group. Consequently, significant disruptions may occur on railway services managed by Trenitalia and other companies within the group. The organizing trade unions, ASSEMBLEA NAZIONALE PDM/PDB GRUPPO FSI, represent a substantial portion of railway workers, making the strike's impact potentially widespread across the entire national network.
How to Prepare
A 24-hour strike in the railway sector can cause considerable interruptions to travel plans and commutes. It is strongly advised for commuters, travelers, and anyone planning to use trains for their journeys to seek information in advance. Always check train schedules, monitor any announcements from railway companies, and consider alternative routes or transportation methods if feasible. Planning your travel well ahead of time is crucial to avoid inconvenience.
