WEEK OF STRIKES IN TRANSPORT SECTOR

Government may have to act against train and flight control staff

The week began badly for travelers, with a strike which paralyzed Milan's two airports Monday 22nd.

Trains
Yesterday the strike by station masters belonging to the UCS labor union created difficulties for train passengers. But this will be nothing compared with what is expected on Friday 26th, when workers in almost all unions will strike from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Planes
Flight controllers will strike at Venice airport on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The same thing will happen at Catania airport from 12 to 4 p.m.[Both just cancelled]

On Saturday there will be an all-out strike throughout Italy by air staff.[Also cancelled]

Given the concentration of industrial actions during the week, the Transport Minister may decide to postpone some of these strikes in accordance with an agreement signed December 23rd last year by all unionists taking part in the current wave of demonstrations.
