Italy: CSLE nationwide general strike on Friday 2 October 2026 (rail 11:00–14:00)
Last Updated:
The small union CSLE, joined by FI-SI, has called a nationwide general strike of all public and private sectors on Friday 2 October 2026. For travellers the relevant part is narrow: rail staff are called out for three hours only, from 11:00 to 14:00, and the maritime passenger sector is listed without specified hours. Local public transport is not included in the proclamation. Other sectors may stop for up to 24 hours.
This action follows the union's earlier general strike planned for 25–26 September, which was formally withdrawn on 2 September.
This alert was originally created on 3 September 2026.
