Travelers flying through Italy this weekend may want to brace themselves for potential disruptions.

Labor unions representing workers at airlines ITA Airways and Wizz Air called for strikes on Saturday. Air traffic controllers at Rome Fiumicino Airport also have planned work stoppages, along with ground crews at Florence Airport, Peretola; Milan Malpensa Airport; and Pisa International Airport.

Groups of striking workers could gather near airports throughout the day.”
