(Now Postponed) National Strike in Italy Scheduled March 9th

Thank you, Eric!

When I saw the date I wondered, France or Italy? We have tickets on the train from Brig to Milan on March 10. And more train travel in Italy after that, on the 11th and 17.

Thank you Lola, updated the thread title.

Looks like they're urging cancellation of Feb./March strikes because of the virus:

Following on Kathy's post, La Republica is reporting just now that all strikes in essential services were in fact prohibited through March 31.
Garante, stop scioperi fino al 31 marzo
La Commissione di garanzia sugli scioperi nei servizi pubblici essenziali, preso atto dello stato di emergenza sanitaria proclamato sul territorio nazionale, rivolge un fermo invito a tutte le Organizzazioni sindacali ed alle Associazioni professionali affinché non vengano effettuate astensioni collettive dal 25 febbraio al 31 marzo 2020, al fine di evitare ulteriore aggravio alle Istituzioni coinvolte nell'attività di prevenzione e contenimento della diffusione del virus.

Thanks for finding that, Mike!
At least that's a bit of good news in the face of a whole lot of not-so-good, eh?

The unions that had called for the strike are so small... I'd rather have the strike back and dump the virus! My grandmother's sewing club has more members
