There are no inconveniences for passengers at Fiumicino and Ciampino airports
due to the 24-hour strike by the cabin crew of the low-cost airlines Ryanair, EasyJet, Volotea and Malta Air.
Operational activity in the two Roman airports is therefore currently regular.
The first of the two protected time slots of three hours each ends at 10am, the second will be from 6pm to 9pm.
Air strike, few flights canceled at Rome airport
EasyJet
canceled "some flights" in recent days in view of today's strike to "limit inconvenience and allow impacted passengers to redesign themselves on available flights".
This was stated by a spokesman for the Company.
From what appears the workers of EasyJet adhere to the protest called by Uil Trasporti, at the same time as the European one concerning all low-cost airlines.
"After the first strike action which took place on 8 June last, which involved a large number of operators - reads a note from Uilt -
a new
protest action was necessary.
given the persistence of the unacceptable conditions in which pilots and flight attendants are forced to work. "The struggle continues to protest against the compression of workers' rights, which culminated in unjustified dismissals, the lack of operational solidity and the total degradation of industrial relations, to the detriment of passengers and crews, in an already very complicated season for Air Transport which is trying to recover.
In
Volotea
- continues Uiltrasporti - the protest continues against the corporate attitude that infringes the rights of workers for the failure to adjust minimum wages according to article 203 and for the numerous unilateral actions with a further lowering of wages justified by individual agreements and pseudo-volunteers.
Added to this is a total inadequacy of work shifts with very intense operatives that certainly do not make us think of the corporate crisis for which continuous sacrifices are required from workers.
Also today - continues the union - Ryanair
workers also strike
with a 24-hour protest.
These manifestations of discomfort are proof that the model imposed in recent years by many carriers and air transport operators is not a sustainable model from the point of view of work and must absolutely be revised to guarantee all operators in the sector adequate standards of quality and safety " .
