Italy’s new national airline, ITA Airways, took to the skies last week, but all is not well on the ground of Italian aviation.
Former Alitalia flight attendants protested this week against job losses and pay cuts in a particularly Italian way — by taking their clothes off.
At the Campidoglio — the center of power in Rome for around 2,000 years and whose main square was redesigned by Michelangelo — about 50 female former flight attendants turned up in their Alitalia uniforms, then removed them to stand in their underwear, chanting “We are Alitalia.”
Theirs was a demonstration to protest not only against their job losses, but also against the contracts awarded to those who have been retained by ITA Airways. (CNN)
Around the world and definitely here in the U.S., employees are protesting unfair working conditions.
In addition to protesting, many are just quitting in hopes of a better opportunity elsewhere.
We have never seen such a massive revolt of the working class before.
Perhaps, employers should look in the mirror.
