Overview

• Six major unions, including Filt Cgil, Fit-Cisl, and Uiltrasporti, have confirmed an eight-hour national railway strike on May 6 from 9 AM to 5 PM.
• The strike stems from unresolved negotiations to renew the national CCNL mobility activities contract and the FS Group company agreement, both expired since December 31, 2023.
• The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has scheduled talks with unions on May 5 to address the strike and broader issues like worker safety and contract dumping.
• Trenitalia has released details on guaranteed train services and refund or rebooking policies for affected passengers during the strike.
• This action is part of a larger wave of transport sector strikes in May, with nearly 30 protests planned across rail, air, and local transit services nationwide.
