I suppose that's convenient... well,more so than not knowing. Anyway, I got instructions on checking the dates of strikes as follows:
Italian strikes are listed here: http://www.commissionegaranziasciopero.it/
Click on "elenco scioperi" (strike list?) at the bottom of the list on the left-hand side of the screen. It will then show all the strikes. Then, scroll down to "trasporto ferroviario" for info on the train strikes.
When you find the various train strikes, you can look for the "stato dello sciopero" box that will tell you the "state" of that strike. If there is a date in red in the "revocato" section, that's the date the strike was called off. If there is a new date in green in the "differito al" box just below the "revocato", that's the new date the strike has been moved to.
So I looked, and I didnt see any for the month of Sept or October... but I also read somewhere that they werent allowed tostrikein the summer, yet there appears to bemany summer strikes. Since I cant read Italian, I'm wondering if someone can fill in the blanks on this for me.
Thank you. P.S. I find it very odd that there are so many Sally's on this board! More than I've met in my lifetime! Isnt that peculiar? There's even a Sallie.
