Dilapidated bathrooms and changing rooms , animal excrement on the floor and rooms out of use. This is the condition in which the accommodation and service stations available to Arst drivers would find themselves, denounced by the trade unionist of the Organization of Autonomous Trade Unions ( ORSA ), Massimo Frau .

The "insistent" problems affect the railway staff and car service staff in Cagliari. «The hygienic and sanitary conditions of the living rooms – we read in a press release – and of the station have now become alarming . The bathrooms and related changing rooms of the car service depot in Viale Monastir have been in dilapidated conditions for months now, the same thing occurs in the Piazza Matteotti station, where workers are forced to use the services reserved for users, as those reserved for staff are unusable for months."

In Isili the difficulties do not change and - perhaps - worsen, with the absence of toilets for railway staff , with employees who - in case of necessity - are forced "to move to the room adjacent to the service cars to use the only bathroom provided, regardless of gender. In tourist areas things are no better. An example of this is Laconi's accommodation "impractical due to degradation, dirt and the presence of animal excrement, perhaps rats". Thus the concerns of those who will have to serve in Lanusei and Arbatax are growing, in view of the summer season. «The workers – explains Frau – are wondering where they will have to stay during the almost six hours of rest before leaving again».

Among the reports there is no shortage of the "incessant and no longer postponable problem relating to the air conditioning systems of the living rooms of the Monserrato traveling staff", which - after almost a year - are still broken and unusable. Hence the union's request for greater protection and compliance with health and hygiene requirements "also considering the increase in female staff", who often do not have a reserved bathroom.
