Rail strike in Italy: Hundreds of trains canceled
Hundreds of trains were canceled in Italy on Sunday due to a rail strike.
The strike, which lasted from 9 p.m. on Saturday until 9 p.m. on Sunday, affected the staff of the Italian state railroads (FS - Ferrovie dello Stato) and the Lombardy regional company Trenord.
The strike led to train cancellations on regional lines and high-speed trains.
Long queues at ticket counters
Long queues formed in front of the ticket counters at Italy's largest train stations. Travelers were looking for information to get to their destination. The strikes were called by the strongest Italian trade union federations, which are demanding the renewal of collective agreements.
"Staff in danger"
They were also protesting against "inadequate salaries and the constant threat of attacks" on public transport staff. In view of repeated attacks, the unions are demanding more security measures.
