Italy – Public Transport Workers to Strike in Rome

Bus, tram, trolley, metro, and suburban railway workers will go on strike June 3 in Rome. Services, however, will be guaranteed during the busy commuting hours of 0500-0830 and 1700-2000. Night routes on bus lines will also be affected beginning 0001 June 3. Expect major traffic disruptions in Rome throughout the day. The strike is unlikely to be crippling, however, as Italian law requires the maintenance of a minimum level of service during work stoppages.
