Twenty-four-hour strike to raise the voice on the situation of Alitalia and all air transport. The arrival of the new commissioner of the former flag carrier Giuseppe Leogrande, for which he still awaits the formalization of the nomination, does not stop the unions who return to choose the path of protest to say no to job cuts and the risk of stew . And to ask that the dispute, after more than two years and seven months of extraordinary administration and 1.3 billion euros of public money, finally find a solution. "For Alitalia we reject any hypothesis of stew, we ask for a truly relaunching industrial plan that guarantees investments and growth, without sacrifices on the labor front," says Filt Cgil. Which is what Uil Trasporti echoes: "The strike is to affirm that we reject any hypothesis of dismembering and cutting the number of employees and that there is no more time to lose. Now it is time to act". The protest, announced jointly by the category letters of Cgil, Cisl, Uil and Ugl (which will also be garrisoned at Fiumicino, Linate and Malpensa from 10 am), was taken at midnight and involved Alitalia pilots, flight attendants and ground staff and Air Italy, in compliance with the guarantee bands 7-10 and 18-21. Behind the strike, in addition to the crises of the two companies, the request for a reform of the sector that intervenes in the competition between companies in the sector, specific rules against contractual dumping and the structural financing of the sector Solidarity Fund, expiring at the end of the year and that integrates social safety nets.
