Nationwide lawyer strike forces postponement of Costa Concordia trial
Costa Concordia captain's trial postponed by nationwide lawyer strike.
The Costa Concordia sank last year off the coast of Italy. 32 people died and the ship's captain, Mario Schettino, was charged with abandonment and manslaughter.
So why is this trial, which will have 1,000 witnesses postponed?
Italy's ministry of infrastructure and transport posted a schedule of strikes. Currently for example it warns of a 4-hour strike on the country's airline Alitalia next week.
So this is why we shouldn't be surprised Italy's credit rating was cut Tuesday. When you go on strike all the time there are consequences – like economic output almost 10% below where it was about 5 years ago.
