  "textContent": "Delays expected at airports in Italy on 10 April due to strike action.\n\nPassengers travelling through Italian airports on Friday 10 April face potential disruption after trade unions called a four-hour national strike in the aviation sector.\n\n\nThe stoppage is scheduled from 13.00 to 17.00 and has been called by numerous trade unions including Uiltrasporti, FAST-Confsal and Astra.\n\n\nThe strike action will involve staff at ENAV - the state-owned company responsible for managing Italian air traffic - as well as personnel at Techno Sky, which maintains and operates flight management systems.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe walkout will specifically affect ENAV's area control centres at Rome's Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, and at Milan Malpensa and Naples Capodichino.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe strike could result in knock-on delays and cancellations beyond the official end time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe unions cite concerns over contractual protections relating to workload, organisational changes, and rising operating costs linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as the drivers behind the protest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe national civil aviation authority ENAC is expected to publish a list of guaranteed flights, nearer the time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril is a busy month for industrial action across Italy, with further strikes planned in the press sector on 16 April, private healthcare on 17 April, maritime transport across the Strait of Messina also on 17 April, and a transport strike affecting ATM services in Milan on 24 April.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor official information about upcoming strikes in Italy see the transport ministry website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: MikeDotta / Shutterstock.com",
