Overview

• The strike, running from 01:00 to 23:59 on May 23, involves employees of Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper, Trenord, Italo, and FS Italiane.
• Union action stems from stalled negotiations over national rail and FS Group contract renewals, which expired in December 2023.
• Train services face widespread cancellations and delays, with essential regional and long-distance trains operating during guaranteed windows (06:00–09:00 and 18:00–21:00).
• Local public transport services are also impacted, with alternative arrangements such as bus transfers established for key routes like the Malpensa Express.
• Passengers can request refunds or reschedule trips at no extra cost, with policies varying by operator to minimize disruption.
