Strike February 17, 2023. Milan, Rome and Bologna: guaranteed slots

In these hours, the Basic Union of Unions (USB) confirmed the transport staff strike called for tomorrow, Friday 17 February. A protest that – according to rumors – will last 24 hours and will concern metro buses, trains and trams in various Italian cities.

the reasons for the strike

—

The Unione Sindacale di Base affirmed that the strike was born in protest against the working conditions at all times most precarious in the transport sector. Precariousness that is first of all caused by the cut in public spending foreseen by the various governments. Furthermore, as happened for some of the last strikes – above all in the city of Milan – the second, but no less important, reason is linked to the scarce safety conditions of workers during the service

According to what has been learned, in Milan there may be cancellations or delays in the circulation of buses and trams managed by ATMthe Milanese transport company, at varying times from 8:45 to 15 and from 18 at the end of the service. At the moment, Trenord employees have not formalized their presence, so the strike should only concern the lines managed by Northern Railways (Milan Cadorna – Canzo/Asso, Como Lago, Novara Nord, Varese/Laveno Nord, the Brescia/Iseo – Edolo line, the suburban lines S2, S3 and S4) and not those of the Italian railway network. With respect to these, however, the company warns against the possibility that there may still be delays or cancellations in mixed management lines such as the S1 Saronno – Milan Passante – Lodi, S9 Saronno – Seregno – Milan – Albairate, S13 Milano Bovisa – Pavia. The strike could also affect airport train connections Malpensa Expresseven if replacement buses are planned for this.
