Milan’s municipal operator ATM is facing a 24-hour strike today (26 June) called by the Confial Trasporti union. Although statutory guarantee windows kept all four metro lines running until 08:45, service suspensions are expected between 08:45-15:00 and 18:00-end of service. The walk-out also affects the Como–Brunate funicular and several airport shuttle routes linking the city centre with Malpensa and Linate. Passengers holding evening flights are being advised to allow extra time or book coach alternatives.

Hotels report a spike in last-minute chauffeur bookings, while business-event organisers at MiCo convention centre have shifted sessions to virtual attendance. Drivers are demanding higher pay, shorter turnaround times at termini and more security after a series of late-night assaults on staff. ATM says it cannot meet wage claims without a central-government subsidy and warns that further strikes could coincide with the 4–7 July design fair, complicating inbound corporate travel. International companies with offices in Milan have activated remote-work contingencies and reminded staff of expense-reimbursement rules for taxis and shared cars during force-majeure disruptions.
