Thello Venice to Paris on a Strike Day - Should I be freaked out?

Hello RSE Forum team!

I just backed in, on accident, to the fact that France has striking rail workers. Four months ago I booked the overnight train from Venice to Paris, departing Venice the night of June 12th arriving the 13th.

I just saw that June 12-13 is targeted as a strike date. What does this mean? What should I be doing? Appreciate any help!!!

Not sure if you saw this that says 24 hours before you will know

Some have reported :"Venice to Paris was stopped at Milan due to the rail strike. We then had to get a bus from Milan to Paris."

If I absolutely had to be in Paris I would do one of these currently reasonably priced direct flight and hoping to get the money back from Thelllo:
