“It is unacceptable that the main steel pole in Europe is experiencing a state of degradation and crisis when the whole steel sector is grinding record numbers”. She said it Robert Benaglia, general secretary of the Fim Cisl, at the end of the national coordination a Taranto together with Fiom and Uilm on the future of Steelworks of Italy (ex Ilva), in view of the June 22 meeting at the Mise.
"It is necessary to free up the company to relaunch it from a production and management point of view - continues the trade unionist - The government must be clear and present itself to themeeting on June 22 not divided. This dispute cannot be the subject of a permanent electoral campaign on the shoulders of the workers and the city of Taranto. In the first six months of 2022 we did not see the growth in production to 5,7 million tons considered necessary by the CEO to reduce the shock absorbers and unfortunately everything suggests that it will be the same for the second half of the year".
Acciaierie D'Italia “is a company with serious liquidity problems – continues the note – The government cannot continue to delay interventions to resolve these critical issues. Because of this il 22 we expect clear indications: we need to start paying contracts, giving workers security, recovering industrial union relations that have never been at such low levels. Nobody thinks that a serious and complex situation like that of theex Ilva be resolved with a wave of the magic wand, but we won't get out of it even by standing still and postponing things to do for two years. In the second half of the year, if there isn't a turnaround, we won't stand by and watch”.
