ATM strike in Milan, stop on metro, buses and trams today: timetables and guarantee periods

Black day for those traveling by public transport in Milan. For today, 9 October, a strike has been called by ATM staff which could have repercussions on the circulation of subways, buses and trams.

Due to the abstention, proclaimed by the AL Cobas and Confial Trasporti unions, some trips may be canceled or undergo changes in the time slots affected by the protest. The Milanese public transport lines may therefore not be guaranteed from 8.45am to 3pm and after 6pm, until the end of the service.

Strike times

The ATM service strike day is organized according to these bands:

Before 8.45am: Service within the guarantee range.

From 8.45am to 3pm: Possible interruptions and reductions in service.

From 3pm to 6pm: Service within the guarantee range.

After 6pm: Possible inconveniences until the end of the service.

In the guarantee periods the service will be ensured according to the methods established for local public transport. Outside these intervals, traffic could instead be affected by staff joining the strike.

The Atm strike

Among the reasons for the strike, indicated by AL Cobas, there is opposition to the processes of liberalization, privatization and financialization of services, in addition to issues relating to the cleanliness of vehicles, worker safety and aggression.

The union also reports requests related to the use of holidays, the transformation of part-time contracts into full-time, work clothes and a salary increase of 150 euros net.

Confial Trasporti instead underlines the adaptation of the systems to facilitate blind people, the economic and fiscal treatment of some company institutions, the assignment of accommodation to employees and the methods of organizing the shifts of the driving staff.
