Air Italy: the wrath of the workers, forgotten by politics

(ANSA) – OLBIA, 31 DEC – “Forget about politics, but that’s not all”. This is the rallying cry of the more than 150 Air Italy employees who today took part in the event promoted by Ap, Cobas and Usb, to which Anpav also joined. In the center of Olbia, in Piazza Elena di Gallura, in front of the town hall, the leaders of the promoting trade unions have pointed the finger at national politics.

“We have been completely abandoned, no minister has ever intervened or pronounced the name of Air Italy – they accuse – other disputes have had the attention of national politics and the press, ours has not, although as of tomorrow there will be 1322 workers on the street” .

Today the redundancy fund expires for all and, barring surprises, the first letters of dismissal will arrive between tomorrow and the next few days, given the stalemate in the last meeting in which the liquidators did not appear, not having the mandate of the company. The last feeble hope hangs in a diplomatic attempt involving Minister Luigi Di Maio and his counterpart from Qatar, as the regional councilor Roberto Li Gioi of the M5s, the only politician present at the demonstration today. News that had been given, right after the last confrontation, also by the Sardinian Regional Labor Councilor, Alessandra Zedda, who had launched a heartfelt appeal to the Government.

“All the other Italian airlines are covered by layoffs for the whole of 2022, ours is not: how is it possible that a dispute that affects so many families is not a priority, with devastating effects on the national socio-economic fabric and the territories concerned ? “, the unions and workers ask. “This is the second Italian airline – Chiosano – here a chapter closes but the battle is open”.
