Italy: nationwide multi-sector general strike on Saturday 26 September 2026
CanceledLast Updated:
CSLE, with the participation of FISI, has called a nationwide multi-sector general strike in Italy on Saturday 26 September 2026. In transport, the current Transport Ministry listings show local public transport from 08:00 to 21:00 and a maritime strike of up to 24 hours, while rail and air are no longer listed under the transport entry. Other sectors listed include schools, healthcare, local authorities, private security and metalworking, so disruption outside transport may still vary by sector and locality.
This alert was originally created on 18 July 2026.

🛑 Canceled
CSLE has withdrawn its nationwide general strike planned for 25 and 26 September 2026. The two-day action was first reduced to a single day without transport and then formally revoked on 2 September, so no strike will take place on either date. The union has instead called a new general strike for Friday 2 October 2026, in which rail staff are due to stop work from 11:00 to 14:00 and the maritime passenger sector is included without specified hours; that action is listed as a separate strike.
