Italy – Rail Strike Feb 7th

Unionized railway personnel will stage a 24-hour nationwide strike beginning at 9p on Feb. 7th. The industrial action will affect passenger rail services on the networks of Trenitalia, Trenord, and high-speed rail company NTV. Expect altered schedules, delays, and cancellations on Italian passenger lines. Unless averted, the strike is likely to cause significant rail disruptions across the country; however, a complete suspension of service is unlikely, as Italian law requires transportation companies to maintain a minimum level of service during strikes.
