During the last 12 years, almost every airline around the world had to make painful restructuring decisions and their employees had to accept new often harsh work rules, pay cuts, layoffs and even bankruptcies.
And how did Alitalia employees deal with this dire situation? Strike after strike after strike, year in year out. Never wanting to give an inch.
No one at XL or EOS or MAXjet or Silverjet and so many other now gone carriers went on strike when the going got tough, and I can guarantee you most of them would have happily given some of their pay or work conditions to keep their airlines flying.
Unfortunately, unlike Alitalia employees they never even got a chance to do that. So maybe it’s time for Alitalia’s employees to start behaving a bit more realistic. But I hear they went on strike again today!!!!! How appropriate. If I am so wrong with this observation, please enlighten me as to why!
