- Transport workers in France, Italy, and the UK are planning industrial action in the coming weeks, potentially disrupting summer travel.
- In France, SNCF train drivers will strike on June 4, followed by a national strike involving rail staff on June 5 and train controllers on June 11, likely causing cancellations and disruptions to rail services.
- Italy faces numerous localised transport strikes throughout June and July, affecting public transport in cities like Genoa, Sardinia, Florence, Bolzano, La Spezia, Naples, and Milan, as well as airport staff in Venice and Milan.
- In the UK, Glasgow and Edinburgh airport staff are threatening strikes over a rejected pay offer, while London Heathrow's Wilson James workers are already striking over pay, and CrossCountry train workers will begin an overtime ban on June 9.
- Passengers affected by flight cancellations due to strikes are entitled to alternative transportation and accommodation, but rail and ferry passengers have fewer rights.
