Recruitment of Italian civilians
at American bases in Italy has been suspended, trade unions said
on Monday.
"We have learned from the national secretariat that there has
been a freeze on hiring Italian civilians at the American bases
in Italy,' said Roberta Del Savio, the coordinator of Fisascat
Cisl union at the Aviano air base in the north-eastern region of
Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Last week US President Donald Trump's Department of Government
Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk reportedly shut down the
credit cards of American and Italian civilian employees who work
in the offices of the Aviano base and of the Ederle and Del Din
army bases near Vicenza.
The bank accounts used for administrative expenses including
basic supplies have also been provisionally shut down,
well-informed sources said.
