The strike on Friday, November 8, 2024 in Rome will involve local public transport and will be part of a 24-hour national protest proclaimed by several unions, including Cgil, Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Faisa Cisal and Ugl Fna. The agitation has been called mainly for the renewal of the national collective bargaining agreement (CCNL) and to denounce the lack of adequate resources in the public transport sector.
The strike in Rome
In Rome, the strike will affect the network operated by Atac, including peripheral bus lines operated by private operators such as Roma Tpl and other subcontractors. Only some essential services will be guaranteed in the time slots, but outside these hours, disruptions are expected.
Guaranteed services
- Metro: The A (Battistini-Anagnina) and B (Rebibbia-Laurentina) lines will operate from the start of service at 8:30 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. However, the B1 line (Ionio-Laurentina) and C line (Pantano-San Giovanni) routes may not be guaranteed if staff members join the strike.
- Buses and streetcars: Some essential connections will be guaranteed, particularly those serving suburban areas to metro stations and hospital hubs. Some streetcar lines, such as Line 3 and Line 19, will also operate during the guarantee periods. All lines in operation here.
Outside the guaranteed bands, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and after 8 p.m., much of public transportation is very likely to be at a standstill.
In addition to the transport strike, a demonstration is planned in Rome from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Piazzale di Porta Pia, near the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The demonstration will be attended by about 1,500 people and may cause additional traffic disruptions in the area.
