Workers represented by labour unions at the Port of Civitavecchia - the primary seaport serving Rome - are planning to stage a strike from 18 to 22 March.
The unions representing the workers claim the management made unilateral changes to an existing employment agreement.
According to Crisis24, four major labour organizations have announced their support of the planned strikes. They highlighted that their members will abstain from work throughout the specified period.
If not averted, this industrial action will likely cause significant disruptions to the facility's maritime freight and passenger transport.
Kuehne+Nagel sources forecast delays in operations involving dockworkers. Trucking operations are unlikely to be impacted, as no gate closures were announced.
Nevertheless, delays may persist for a few days after the strike, depending on the accumulated backlog.
