Anyone bought tickets or traveled by private Italo train?

We were planning to travel from Naples to Rome on June 8th but I just found out about a transportation strike from 10:00 to 14:00. As we do not want to hang around Napoli Centrale, we are weighing options. Italo or may be even a bus from Sorrento (provided the bus people are also not on strike!) Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have used the Italo train service and it is very nice. Whether they will be affected by the strike, I do not know (obviously they are a private company, but they are using public railroads, so I don't know if the strike will cause any problems for them). I would recommend you contact them through their web site or give them a call to confirm everything. All the representatives I have met on their trains (and in their railway offices) have spoken English.

Thanks Bryan. I will certainly contact them. 2 years back we did not know that the RER in Paris were on strike and we had so much trouble reaching the airport.
This time we want to be proactive and try to avoid such problems.
