Former Ilva, De Palma: “Risk of layoffs, the Government must intervene”

“There were two legs on which theex Ilva he would have to walk over the next few years. One was there certainty of decarbonisationthe other was there certainty for all busy and all the busy“. He said this to Taranto Michele De Palmageneral secretary Fiom Cgilin a press point outside the factory after aassembly with the union delegates.

“When I say all and all – claimed De Palma – I am also referring to those of theinduced and gods procurement. I can throw a alarm? Some risk closing by stopping the battery. We risk finding ourselves with the layoffs in the next few weeks. We are at Natale: a delegate told me that in the past there was at least one gesture of attention from the company, the panettone. But today there are workers who do not have the thirteenth in procurement. When they say that the situation is handled with tranquility, here it is: that tranquility it doesn’t exist for workers. The workers are pissed off because it is unacceptable that those who have worked cannot be calm on Christmas Day.”

The request for government intervention

“We – claimed the number 1 of the Fiom Cgil – we wait for the Prime Minister summon us to Palazzo Chigi. We have one concrete proposal: and public participatory entity who takes over the government ofagency. Serve one industrial plan based on decarbonisationwhich provides i Dri in Taranto, i electric ovens in Taranto and an electric oven in Genova.”

The critical issues of the industrial plan

“Everyone says: let’s do the plan in four years short cycle. We called him closing plan. Nobody asks why the company Dri Italy hasn’t done it yet trying for those who have to build the Dri in Taranto. They stop him facilitiesthey stop the coker: things that stop, stop; those who have to move forward don’t leave. This is the situation here, so we ask the Government to hire one clear responsibility“.
