A nationwide rail strike in Italy, initiated by railway workers from FS Group, Trenord, and Italo, has caused significant disruptions over the weekend.

The strike, which began on Saturday evening and is set to end on Sunday night, was called by the Cub transport union to demand better safety measures, working conditions, and wages.

Major stations like Rome Termini and Florence Santa Maria Novella have seen severe delays and cancellations, with travelers facing long waits and crowded information points.

The strike has affected high-speed, Intercity, and regional trains, with an estimated 70% of workers participating.

Passengers are advised to check for updates and consider rescheduling their journeys, with options for refunds available under certain conditions.
