Pope appeals to Meridiana over layoffs

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 22 - Pope Francis on Wednesday made an appeal to executives at Sardinian carrier Meridiana to change its plan to make 1,366 workers redundant.
    "Please, I make an appeal to all the managers, don't leave any families without jobs," the Pope said during his general in St Peter's Square, which a group of Meridiana workers attended. The Argentine pontiff called for a "fair solution that, above all, takes account of the dignity of human beings and the essential needs of many families". http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
