What's Happening
Attention all logistics sector operators and anyone dependent on the supply chain: a strike has been called that will affect the freight transport sector in the Liguria region. Specifically, the service halt will concern the territory of the Metropolitan City of Genoa, and the logistics platforms and port basins of Genoa and Savona.
The mobilization will last for 72 hours, starting from midnight on June 18, 2026, and ending at 24:00 on June 20, 2026. This means that for three full days, freight transport services in the indicated area may experience significant disruptions.
The precise reasons behind this strike will be communicated by the promoting trade unions, but generally such work stoppages are linked to contractual issues, working conditions, safety, or company agreements.
Who Is Affected
The strike will primarily involve workers employed in the third-party freight transport service within the Metropolitan City of Genoa, as well as personnel operating in the logistics platforms and port basins of Genoa and Savona. This includes drivers, freight handling staff, and, in general, all personnel who contribute to the logistics and transport chain in the region.
The trade unions that have proclaimed this work stoppage are diverse, testifying to a unitary will or a convergence of issues among various unions: OSR ALIAI, CNA-FITA, CONFARTIGIANATO TRASPORTI, FAI, FIAP, LEGA COOPERATIVE, and TRASPORTOUNITO.
The repercussions could also extend to goods in transit, delivery and reception times for goods, and potentially have an impact on the operational activities of the ports of Genoa and Savona and their respective logistics areas.
How to Prepare
For those directly involved in the freight transport sector or for companies dependent on these services, it is essential to plan in advance to mitigate potential disruptions:
- Reschedule shipments: Where possible, try to anticipate or postpone shipments scheduled for the strike days.
- Contact suppliers and clients: Maintain clear communication with business partners, suppliers, and clients to inform them of the situation and agree on any changes to logistics plans.
- Monitor updates: Closely follow official communications from unions and competent authorities for any updates or changes in the strike's status.
- Check for exceptions: Some essential services may be guaranteed. Verify if there are specific provisions exempting certain types of transport or time slots.
For companies, this might mean managing additional stock or revising warehouse management procedures to cope with potential delays in goods arrival.
