(ANSA) - ROME, June 06 - A difficult day for flying Wednesday 8 June.
Unions have called strikes in some of the most active companies in Italian airports, starting with Ryanair and Easyjet.
In detail, the Easyjet and Volotea flight crews will cross their arms for 4 hours due to the agitation proclaimed by Uiltrasporti.
"The workers of EasyJet - explains the union - will protect against the compression of rights culminating in unjustified licensing, against the lack of operational solidity, to the detriment of passengers and crews and against the total degradation of industrial relations".
As regards Volotea Uiltrasporti, on the other hand, it speaks of "a continuous anti-union conduct carried out by the company: unacceptable requests for salary reductions, promotions and economic upgrades at the sole discretion of the company in order to effectively exercise a real control over its employees, to which are added disciplinary disputes unchallenged with the Italian legislation ".
The 4-hour national strike was confirmed, from 10 to 14, also by pilots and flight attendants of Ryanair, Malta Air and the CrewLink company, "given the impossibility - together Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti underline - to open a discussion dedicated to the problems that for months afflict the navigator ".
"Among the open questions - explain the trade unions - the failure to comply with the minimum wages provided for by the national contract, the persistence of an agreement on the cut of wages (contingency agreement) no longer current, the arbitrary reductions of the paycheck, the non-payment of sick days, the refusal of the company to grant days of compulsory leave during the summer season and the lack of water and meals for the crew ".
"In the absence of concrete signals from Ryanair - finally affirm Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti - Wednesday 8 will be only the first strike action of a series that will affect the whole summer period".
