The strike was originally scheduled for 24 hours but was reduced to four hours after Italy's transport minister Matteo Salvini issued an injunction on Tuesday.

The reasons for the strike - called by the Sgb, Cub, Cobas, Adl, Sgb, Usb Lavoro privato and Orsa trade unions - include demands for better pay, improved working conditions, increased safety in the workplace and to fight against privatisation.
