A four hour strike of the EasyJet's flight attendants, the first national protest by stewards and hostesses of the airline, was fixed by the trade unions Filt Cgil and Fit Cisl. The unions demand a dialogue with the cheap carrier over the working conditions of the staff. At Air Dolomiti, a Lufthansa subsidiary, the trade unions staged a strike after four pilots were dismissed for voicing concern about the future of the airline.
