Italy hit by flight delays and cancellations due to strikes at airports

British holidaymakers may face yet more travel chaos this summer after two Italian unions called for a strike. Airline workers – including easyJet and Crewlink – went on strike from 10am to 2pm yesterday (June 8).

The Italian Federation of Transport Workers (FILT) and Italian Union of Transport Workers (UILT) claim that the strike was called over non-payment of sick leave, summer leave, pay disputes and "lack of water and meals for the crew”, reports the Sun.

If an agreement is not met, UILT has said that a number of strikes and protest actions will affect summer travel.
