Strike timetables to vary from city to city.

Commuters in Rome, Milan and cities across Italy face disruption to local public transport services on Monday 24 February due to a nationwide 24-hour strike.

The industrial dispute, called by the USB trade union representing public transport workers, will affect local bus, subway and tram services, with strike timetables varying from city to city.

Rome public transport services are set to be guaranteed from the start of service until 08.30 and from 17.00 to 20.00, according to the ATAC website.

Milan public transport provider ATM says it will guarantee services up until 08.45 and from 15.00 to 18.00.

USB says the strike is to highlight issues including the government's budget plans, the renewal of national contracts and the reduction of working hours.
