Ferry Workers Go on Strike in Italy
ROME — Workers on state-owned ferries followed up rail and airline strikes with their own 24-hour walkout on Tuesday.
Staff members of the Tirrenia ferry line, which links Italian ports with Sardinia, Sicily and smaller islands, said they struck to support demands for higher wages.
A strike by Alitalia workers grounded nearly half the national airline’s scheduled flights on Monday, and other flights in and out of Rome were disrupted by a three-hour stoppage by air traffic controllers.
One rail union staged a 24-hour strike Sunday, resuming months of walkouts after a brief truce over Christmas. The state railroad said that only 5% of trains were canceled.
