Italian railway workers plan strike actions this week

Kuehne+Nagel advises that national rail strikes by Italian railway operator Gruppo FS employees will begin this week.


The strike action will take place as follows:

  • 5 September – for 24 hours from 21:00 local time
  • 6 September – for 24 hours
  • 8 September – from 03:00 till 02:00 local time, 9 September


All intermodal connections could be affected during these strikes since they may involve train drivers and network operators.


In addition, rail cancellations and strikes will not help ease the congestion in La Spezia, Genoa, and the main internal depots.


For further information on the intermodal disruptions, please refer to our advisory.
