Friday March 28, 5:20 PMAir France-KLM plans 2,100 Alitalia layoffs
"We cannot go further without reopening discussion of the very fundamentals of our project for Alitalia," Air France-KLM chief Jean-Cyril Spinetta wrote of the plan submitted overnight to the unions representing Alitalia employees, ANSA said. A first round of talks with the unions ended in disagreement last week. Spinetta said "the social measures accompanying the industrial plan are built to alleviate the more difficult situations of layoffs and offer everyone a lifeline." The unions fear that job cuts could reach up to 7,000. Air France's chairman Jean-Cyril Spinetta has said he would unveil proposals Friday regarding the social aspects of the takeover, and let it be known . Spinetta let it be known that he would continue negotiating with labour unions beyond an initial March 31 deadline, subject to a green light from the Italian treasury, a 49.9 percent shareholder. |
