Alitalia crews to strike Sept 22

Pilots and cabin crew at Alitalia are planning to strike for 24 hours Sept 22, triggering flight cancellations. Sept 20, Alitalia said it was implementing “special measures” during the walkout. “The trade unions ANPAC, ANPAV and USB, representing some of the Alitalia pilots and flight attendants, have confirmed a 24-hour strike Sept 22, despite cancellation of industrial action by the national unions FILT-CGIL, FIT-CISL, UIL Trasporti and UGL. As a consequence, Alitalia was forced to cancel many flights scheduled Sept 22,” Alitalia said. The strike was originally scheduled for Sept 6, but was deferred following the recent earthquake in Italy. Alitalia has rebooked passengers, brought in extra staff at Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate and set up special call centre numbers in a bid to minimise disruption. <br/>
