Strike to affect local transport services in cities across Italy.

Commuters in Italy face disruption to local public transport services due to a national 24-hour strike on Friday 7 July, with strike times varying from city to city.

The day-long industrial action has been called by the Faisa-Confail trade union and is set to affect local bus, metro and tram services in cities across Italy.

In Rome the strike will affect the ATAC network of buses, trams, metro and light-rail services, as well as Roma TPL buses.
