A local public transport strike has been confirmed all over Italy to take place on Monday 6 March. The strike has been called by the transport section of all the major Italian trades union movements to protest about the low levels of pay for transport workers and the high level of inflation. The time of the strike will vary from place to place and in Rome it will begin at 11.00 and end at 15.00.

The Roman strike will not include the Metro A and B ( the underground railway) which will run normally. For further information see www.atac.roma.it
