Trenitalia’s Infomobilità bulletin of 18 July formally confirmed a 24-hour nationwide strike by personnel of the FS Group, Trenitalia, Trenord and Trenitalia Tper starting 21:00 on Thursday 23 July. The action, called by sector unions over wage alignment and staffing levels, will affect all regions and both long-distance and commuter services.citeturn12view0 Minimum services required by Italian law will be guaranteed during peak hours, but high-speed Frecciarossa and Italo schedules are expected to see extensive cuts. Logisticians warn that weekend cargo slots may face a backlog lasting several days, particularly on the Bologna freight node. The announcement comes just four days after the airport ground-staff strike, underscoring a broader wave of transport-sector unrest. Employers’ association Assarmatori urged the government to convene an urgent round-table to avoid “paralysing the country’s mobility backbone” during the tourist high season. Corporate travel managers should re-book critical itineraries before ticket caps tighten and communicate alternative-work arrangements to employees. Digital nomads relying on regional trains for visa-run trips are also advised to adjust plans.citeturn12view0
