A nationwide strike truce was signed by Italian unions Wednesday for the period covering the Turin Olympics. The agreement will force the postponement of an Alitalia airline strike scheduled for the day of the opening ceremony. All major Italian unions signed the accord, including representatives from the country's three big labor organizations -- CGIL, CISL, and UIL.
