The first group involved in the strike on 14 June is represented by the staff of the Csc Mobilità company Latin, whose strike was proclaimed by the Osr Ugl-Fna union. This will involve the staff for the whole daycausing one complete stop of local public transport in the affected area.

Where to check for strikes
To monitor strikes affecting the public sector at a national, interregional and local level, it is possible to consult the “strikes” section of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.
By accessing the dedicated page you can also consult the list of personnel involved and the cities involved (it is clearly specified which sectors, areas and entities are affected by the strikes), as well as the details of the strikes (i.e. the strike actions that have been called, with the date, expected duration and other relevant information) and of the unions that have promoted the initiatives.
In addition, it is always recommended directly consult the websites and social pages (Facebook, X and Instagram) of the transport companies local or those that cover the routes of interest. They often publish official statements on strikes and service interruptions directly using their own channels. These releases provide precise details on the affected lines, outage times and proposed alternatives.
