Practice strike in Italy from 09.00 to 17.00 on Friday.

A nationwide eight-hour prepare strike in Italy has been confirmed by commerce unions for Friday 9 September, from 09.00 till 17.00, with widespread cancellations and delays anticipated.

Unions say they’ve organised the protest – which is able to have an effect on rail providers offered by Trenitalia, Italo and Trenord – to name for better security and safety for prepare employees.

The transfer follows a current assault on a prepare conductor in Naples after he requested a passenger for his or her ticket.

Unions say the protest is in response to the “gravity and intolerability of the quite a few and violent assaults” in opposition to its members.

Those that have already bought prepare tickets for Friday, or who intend to journey by prepare that day, are suggested to verify the web site of the corporate they’re travelling with or to contact customer support for extra info.
