You can blame the Unions KingCapt.
Alitalia has been in trouble for some time and whilst the Unions should be looking out for there members it must also be said that they also have to ask “what is in the best interest of the company has whole”. If there is no company then there are no jobs. Simple.
They have had a number of chances to agree a deal that will at least still get them bringing in some union dues but it appears to be an all or nothing venture on there behalf. If brinkmanship is what they wanted, then brinkmanship is unfortunately what they have got.
Me I see this all ending with some sort of compromise, however what will be gone is any goodwill the Airline had with its biggest and most important stakeholder, the flying public. I wonder how many flights in total have been cancelled over this.
