Trenitalia, a subsidiary of FS, had announced "significant impact on rail traffic" due to walkouts.
Passengers crowded railway stations and platforms, hopelessly waiting for trains.
Workers criticized a "massive deterioration in their working conditions," and a lack of safety at work, like increasing attacks on staff, according to a joint statement by the largest railway unions.
"Since the end of the pandemic phase, the working conditions of all railway employees as well as those of the cleaning companies have deteriorated." Workers also demanded a "better balance in shift planning that considers a better work-life balance."
