National Strike Over Gaza Proceeds Across Italy After Watchdog Deems It Illegal

The action proceeds despite the watchdog’s ban after unions reject the ruling.

Overview

  • SI Cobas’s legally notified rail walkout runs from 9 p.m. on October 2 to 9 p.m. on October 3, potentially affecting FS Group operators Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper and Trenord.
  • The Commissione di garanzia ruled the CGIL/USB general strike unlawful for lacking the 10‑day notice required in essential services, and CGIL said it will challenge the decision.
  • Ministers warned of sanctions and floated tougher strike rules, but by the latest reports no nationwide precettazione order was issued for today.
  • A national rail traffic tracking fault reported by Trenitalia and Trenord is limiting real‑time passenger information, compounding disruption risks.
  • More than 100 demonstrations are scheduled, with expected slowdowns across trains, metros, buses, airports, ports, autostrades, schools and healthcare, where minimum services must be maintained.
