Black Friday before the bridge: the general strike paralyzes Italy. Transport at risk.

At risk are trains and public transport, school and healthcare services, in the coming hours due to the nationwide general strike called by several grassroots trade unions (Cub; Sgb; Adl Varese; Si Cobas; Usi; Usi Cit). Demonstrations and sit-ins will be held in Rome, Naples, Bologna, Florence, Genoa, Turin, Savona, Milan, Bergamo, Trento, Padua, La Spezia, Livorno, Catania, Palermo, and initiatives will also take place in front of some factories and logistics sites. Airport, railway, and in some cities, local public transport, as well as healthcare and education sectors, where the greatest participation is expected, will be affected by the shutdown.

What are the reasons for the protest?

The strike was called against rising living costs, generated by wars, for the recovery of wages and pensions, for fair taxation, against precariousness, rising evictions, and military spending.

What are the hours for trains and regional transport?

The protest will also affect staff at the FS Group, Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper and Trenord, from 9 pm today to 9 pm tomorrow. Trains may therefore experience variations or cancellations but long-distance trains will be partially guaranteed.

For Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper and Trenord regional transport, essential services are guaranteed on weekdays from 6 am to 9 am and from 6 pm to 9 pm. In addition to trains, buses, trams and metros are also at risk in various Italian cities, with different modes depending on local transport companies.

How does the strike work for motorways, ferries and firefighters?

For motorway staff, the strike will begin at 10 pm today and end at 10 pm tomorrow, and maritime connections will also be affected. For firefighters, the strike will be 4 hours (without deduction). For shift personnel, it will begin at 9 am and end at 1 pm. A full day for daily and administrative staff.

General strike on May 29th, trains and planes will stop: repercussions for schools and healthcare too.

A new Friday of passion. On May 29th, a new 24-hour general strike has been called by the Usi Cit, Cub, Sgb, Adl Varese, Si Cobas unions, to which Usi 1912, Sbm, Fisi, and Fi-si also adhere.
Trains and airplanes will stop.
It starts from 9 pm on Thursday to 9 pm on Friday with a stoppage that, in the transport sector, will also involve personnel from the Fs group, Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper, and Trenord. As always in these cases, essential services are guaranteed during weekday hours from 6 am to 9 am and from 6 pm to 9 pm as a guarantee band for users.
A strike with political and economic motivations. In the unions’ “manifesto,” the protest is announced “against the war and the increase in military spending; against exploitation at work, precariousness, and the failure to adjust the wages of public and private sector workers; against the genocide in Palestine and the supply of weapons to Israel; against the absence of social policies, starting with the housing emergency; against repressive policies of the various ‘Security’ decrees such as D.L. 23/2026 and previous ones of 2025; against the abuses of the Guarantee Commission, rulings that restrict the right to strike, and the attempt to stifle struggles in the Logistics sector (for the abrogation of L.146/90 and L.83/00); against the absence of industrial policies capable of addressing current transitions; against deaths on the job.”
In Italy’s two largest cities, Rome and Milan, disruptions could be particularly significant. In the capital, Atac reported that service will be guaranteed exclusively during legal hours: from the start of service to 8:29 am and from 5:19 pm to 7:59 pm. In the territory of Rome Capital, the strike will affect the entire Atac network and the networks of the Autoservizi Troiani/Sap, Autoservizi Tuscia/Bis, and Atr retailers. On the Atac network, the strike also affects connections made by other operators under subcontracting and the ClicBus Atac on-demand bus service. In Milan, Atm explained that some lines may not be guaranteed from 8:45 am to 3:00 pm and after 6:00 pm until the end of service.
As highlighted later by the Ministry of Transport, the air sector will cross its arms from midnight until 11:59 pm on May 29th.
Other Sectors Involved
Therefore, a general strike will cross its arms, involving workers from all public and private categories. The Ministry of Education issued a note announcing the mobilization, which could cause disruptions in the sector. The Fire Department will also stop, with a 4-hour strike from 9 am to 1 pm for shift personnel. There could also be an impact on the national health service, including medical appointments: however, minimum services are always guaranteed.
