Truckers' strike from April 20 to 25, 2026: the reasons
After the strike limited to Sicily, truck drivers could stop for 5 days, that is, from 20 to 25 April 2026.
A strike is planned for these days, which, according to QuiFinanza.it, will begin at midnight on April 20 and end at midnight on April 25. This strike was originally scheduled for April 14 to 18, but was postponed following the intervention of the Strike Guarantee Commission, which noted the failure to comply with the legally required notice periods.
The reason for this strike is the increase in fuel costs following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Truckers' strike from April 20 to 25, 2026: risk of price increases and empty supermarket shelves.
As seen, a truckers' strike is planned for April 20-25, 2026. The consequences of this strike could become visible within a few days, starting with price increases due to the reduction in supplies.
There may also be, though a remote possibility, the possibility of seeing empty shelves in supermarkets. The risk increases if consumers, fearing price increases or future unavailability of certain foods, engage in hoarding behavior.
