How do you know when trains are striking

I've seen several posts lately about dates of upcoming train strikes. I'm heading to Italy in October and would like to be aware of potential strikes. I have looked through the Trentalia site and don't see where they post this. Could someone please provide a link for this? Thanks.

You go here to Ron In Rome's posting on the topic. It has all the info you could want, including links to a page that tracks upcoming strikes. FWIW, there doesn't seem to be one scheduled for October. Yet. Happy travels.

As far as I know, which is not that far in Italian administrative law, the Italian government has established a regulatory body whose task is to act as a clearinghouse that collects, from the unions, nationwide and local strike information and then publishes for consumers a scheadule of those planned work outages. Yes, I realize that this is Italy so things are, to say the least, subject to a certain degree of uncertainty; but, nevertheless, here it is:      http://www.commissionegaranziasciopero.it/

Thanks you both for the links provided. Ron in Rome's website has been invaluable, but I didn't realize he had this information on strikes. Good news October is looking clear of them so far. Keeping my fingers crossed, it's not an issue I will have to deal with but it is certainly better to be informed in the event.
