Alitalia unions join 4-hour strike as industrial plan nears
Alitalia unions went on strike March 25 as part of a wider walkout of Italian air transport sector workers, and as the long-running process aimed at saving the bankrupt carrier looked to be advancing with news that a new industrial plan should be presented by April 21. Gianfranco Battisti, CE of railway company and potential Alitalia investor Ferrovie dello Stato, said a new industrial plan for the carrier would be presented before Easter. The previous target date for the plan was March 31. Alitalia workers have expressed concerns about the lack of clarity so far on how Alitalia, which struggled with tough competition from LCCs before it declared bankruptcy, can be turned around. The airline said it canceled nearly 100 flights and made schedule adjustments Monday as workers went on strike from 10 am to 2 pm local time. <br/>
