Alitalia workers should not
have to pay for mistakes made by the ex-national flag carrier's
manages, Transport Minister Graziano Delrio said Thursday.
"We're faced with a profound crisis of the former flag
carrier" but "we mustn't make the workers pay for the managers'
mistakes," he said.
"That's not the start, for the government".
In response, Alitalia management said a revised business plan
would be presented at the end of the month.
Alitalia is undergoing painful restructuring following years
of losses. Unions recently broke off talks on job cuts.
Delrio said "sacrifices can be made if there are serious
business plans".
He said Alitalia must make the right strategic choices in
view of a growing air traffic market in all Italian airports.
