Italy is bracing for significant disruptions in public transport as unions announce a 24-hour strike on November 8. The strike, affecting cities like Rome and Milan, is organized by major unions including Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl, and Uilt-Uil, among others.

This protest aims to highlight the urgent need for a renewed national contract and to address the broader crisis in public transportation.

Unions warn that the current system is at risk of collapse due to inadequate resources and planning, affecting both urban and rural areas.

The strike will notably lack the usual guaranteed service periods, intensifying its impact.

A major demonstration is planned in Rome to draw attention to the plight of transport workers and the declining quality of public mobility.
