A series of Saturday airport
strikes were back on track Friday after the Lazio Regional
Administrative Tribunal (TAR) annulled an injunction by
Transport Minister Graziano Delrio postponing the labor actions
at Rome and Milan airports.
Travelers can therefore look forward to likely disruptions
at Fiumicino, Linate and Malpensa.
Delrio's injunction issued yesterday would have averted
total of 14 different strikes, including an eight-hour strike by
ENAV air traffic controllers, operators and meteorologists, an
eight-hour strike by non-managerial staff at ENAV, Alitalia and
Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) airport operator, and an eight-hour
strike by employees of Airport Handling company, which operates
at Milan's Linate and Malpensa airports.
The TAR ruled that Delrio's measure was not based on
"exceptional reasons" and therefore he can't limit the right to
strike in this case.
The court added the government failed to inform the
national strike watchdog before deciding to postpone the airport
strike to a later date.
The TAR ruling upheld an appeal by flight attendants and
air traffic controllers unions.
