ROME, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Workers at Italy's Datalogic
 DAL.MI  plan a series of stoppages during December and January
in response to the company's failure  to increase wages and
reduce working hours, unions said on Thursday.
    Italian workers from multiple sectors have been staging
numerous protests in recent months, voicing their discontent
over salaries and working conditions. Unions staged a nationwide
strike last week to protest over the government's budget.
    Datalogic is an Italian firm specialising in data processing
for bar codes, security measures, and laser marking and employs
approximately 2,900 people globally across 29 countries,
according to the company's website.
    Union members voiced fears over potential job losses and
declared a halt to overtime and flexible working hours, as well
as stoppages covering 16 hours in total. 
    Unions called for a meeting with the company's management,
urging them to present a "credible industrial plan" for the
relaunch of Datalogic and its Datasensing unit.
    Datalogic was not immediately available for comment.
