Guaranteed bands for train passengers
need to be implemented also during strikes organized on public
holidays, Italy's strike authority said Tuesday.
The Guarantee Authority on strikes said that, after consulting
with unions, it intervened in an agreement outlining essential
services to be guaranteed in the rail sector operated by the
Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) rail group to introduce guaranteed
bands during festivities (70-10 am and 6-9 pm) and to boost the
minimum level of services provided.
The changes were considered necessary, 25 years after current
rules were implemented, with the objective of guaranteeing
workers the right to strike while ensuring the right to travel
of passengers, the authority said.
