The head of the FILT CGIL air
transport union, Nino Cortorillo, on Tuesday denied there would
be talks with Confindustria air chapter Assaereo on Alitalia
contract renewals today and confirmed a strike involving
Alitalia, airport and handling companies, as well as foreign
airline ground staff from 14:00 to 18:00 tomorrow. Industry
Minister Carlo Calenda called for the resumption of
union-management talks, saying "the most important thing is that
there is a return to a more harmonious way of working between
the management and unions, and above all talks". Alitalia is set
to present a business plan expected to contain up to 2,000 jobs
cuts at the start of next month after posting a 500-million-euro
loss in 2016.
