The designated operator of Italy, Poste Italiane, wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that industrial action called by an Italian trade union as of 15 October 2026 may continue over the coming weeks. Should the industrial action persist, it may adversely affect operational activities, with potential repercussions on the collection and delivery of domestic and international shipments, resulting in delays and service disruptions. Poste Italiane has already put all necessary measures in place to minimize any inconvenience. Poste Italiane thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding.
