'Very difficult' Alitalia situation

(ANSA) - Rome, March 27 - 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.
