ROME - Train and mass transit strikes throughout Italy could cripple travel on Monday.
A 24-hour nationwide railway strike was set to begin at 9 p.m Sunday.
A railways Web site said some trains used mainly by commuters would run on Monday morning and evening, but that service on long-haul runs was not guaranteed.
Mass transit strikes set for cities all day Monday were expected to cancel thousands of bus, tram and subway runs.
Transit agencies said some service would be guaranteed in the morning and afternoon rush hours.
The strikes were called to put pressure on national transport union contract renewal talks, which should begin soon.
