Can someone help me understand this Italian rail strike notice?

I will be traveling from Verona to Bologna on a regional train on April 22 and then from Bologna on to Rome via Frecc train that night. Will any of these strikes affect me? I can read the translated words but I still don't know what they are telling me! http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.commissionegaranziasciopero.it%2FscioperoList

Kft421, Another website I checked stated "Trenitalia personnel will be on strike for 24 hours, from 9 PM of April 21st to 9 PM of April 22nd." It's possible that you will be affected by this, but keep in mind that some trains will still be running. In the same situation, I'd try to keep a "flexible" travel schedule that day so that you'll be able to adjust the different departure and travel times, according to circumstances. I also found this headline: "ORSA RAIL STRIKE FROM 9PM, FS SAYS 90% OF TRAINS TO RUN – Agenzia Giornalistica Italia" Good luck and happy travels!
