Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti
said Thursday that Alitalia cannot solve its problems solely by
axing staff. The government, unions and the loss-making airline
are in talks about a plan to turn Alitalia around, featuring the
loss of around 2,000 ground-staff jobs. Poletti said labour
costs were "one of the components but not the first one and not
the main one". "Everything cannot be loaded onto labour costs
and the sacrifice of the workers," he added. "It is necessary to
give the company prospects, seek a path to give the company a
future".
