In only a handful cities today and afaik only in one for 48h… Kinda misleading title

Nah, the article just names a handful of cities, but it’s all over the country. Verdi is one of the biggest unions here, they have members practically everywhere, so the strike is country-wide for the full 48h, affecting all companies that have employees represented by Verdi. But it’s just a “warning strike”, so local buses and trams are operating but on drastically reduced schedules. Most regional and long distance trains are not affected however as they have different unions.
