A nationwide strike of transport workers
hitting trains, metros, buses and ferries kicked off on
Wednesday morning, with hours varying between cities.
Unions rejected a request to postpone the strike.
"The reasons are still there" for the strike, the unions
Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl and said after meeting with the ministry.
Planes will be grounded on Friday.
"The company's attitude is unacceptable", say Alitalia pilots
and flight attendants, however the strike will last only four
hours, rather than 24, after an ordinance was issued by the
transport ministry.
