Maritime strike question July 5-7th 2025

I saw this posted on the strike information page:

05/07/2025 07/07/2025 UGL SEA AND PORTS Maritime MARITIME PERSONNEL SOC. GNV - GRANDI NAVI VELOCI 48 HOURS: FROM 2.00 PM ON 5/7 TO 1.59 PM ON 7/7

Does this affect ferries from Sorrento to Capri and Naples? I have plans on both the 5th and 6th to use ferries.

Curious about that too. We were going to take the ferry from Amalfi to Salerno on the 6th to catch our train to Milan. Back up we will take the bus, but I'm sure that will be more packed than usual if the ferries aren't running. Thankfully on the 5th we'll be heading to Ravello for the day.

Here's the link to the strike information page that was shared a few weeks ago in another thread.

The information stated is that the strike affects the GNV company only - grandi navi veloci. This is their website - https://www.gnv.it/en
Nothing to do with the companies running the Sorrento ferries

Thanks so much Tinac! Do you (or anyone else) know if there is a minimum announcement time for when they can announce strikes? For instance, do they have to give 15 days notice, or can they announce the day prior?

By law they have to give at least ten days notice but as you can see in the link above about the various strikes, usually it's longer
