Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti
emerged from talks at the industry ministry between the
government and Aitalia management and unions Monday to say "it
is a very difficult situation".
He said "we will work very intensely over the next few days",
when more meetings are scheduled.
Alitalia has presented a cost-cutting business plan to try to
turn around the loss-making former national carrier.
Some 2,000 ground-staff job cuts are envisaged.
