Travelers had less than 24 hours to prepare for the fact that air travel was at least difficult, if not impossible, this Tuesday.
Once again, the Verdi union has caused a standstill in terminal departure halls with a short-term call for security checks to be avoided.
It's called a warning strike, almost demeaningly, even though many regular airline strikes have had far fewer consequences.
This warning strike is getting out of hand.
For passengers, the size is rightly a nuisance.
Because it is the travelers who pay for the functioning of the pre-flight controls with a fee included in the ticket price.
This Tuesday, however, they felt that little or nothing worked at the passenger checkpoints, even though the difference between employers and the union on the wages to be paid there was minimal.
The core of the conflict is the dispute over large surcharges for personnel and goods checks, which passengers never use.
Passenger operations are being paralyzed just to enforce this demand.
Such a warning strike has gone beyond what is acceptable.
A union that fights that way gambles away sympathies.
