(Finance) – Monday under the sign of possible inconveniences for those traveling by train due to the snational strike of railway workers proclaimed by the grassroots unions Cub and USB protesting for the renewal of the contract.
Yestop of 8 hours, from 9am to 5pm, will affect all companies in the sector, and will have an impact not only on Trenitalia, but also on Italo and Trenord. The freight transport workers and those of RFI, the company that manages the railway network and infrastructure, will also cross their arms.
Those who suffer the greatest inconvenience could be: commuters who use local trains to travel, while for long-distance travel no particularly critical situations are currently expected. In fact, Trenitalia announced in a note that “Trenitalia’s Frecce and Intercity trains will circulate regularly”, explaining however that there will be “probable limitations or cancellations of regional trains”..
Also Italian warns of possible inconveniences and delays, and to keep travelers informed has published, as usual in these cases, a list of guaranteed trains. At the basis of the protest was the request for “a true and adequate national contractual renewal”, as stated in a USB note which also recalls the paralysis of rail transport which recently affected Germany: “The train drivers went on strike for 6 days for the same reasons, a sign that the employers’ attack is collective”, they underline grassroots unions.
