Overview

  • The nationwide strike by FS Italiane personnel will run from 01:00 to 24:00 on May 23, 2025.
  • The strike, led by USB and SGB unions, will impact both rail services and local public transport across Italy.
  • The Pdm/Pdb assembly of FS Italiane will join the strike with an eight-hour work stoppage from 09:00 to 17:00 on the same day.
  • This action follows the cancellation of a May 17 strike after the Commissione di garanzia requested its suspension to avoid disruptions during Pope Leo XIV's installation in Rome.
  • The strike highlights ongoing disputes over the renewal of the national rail mobility contract, which expired at the end of 2023.
