Milan, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – “With regard to what has emerged in the press concerning the outcome of the tender for the former Ilva, the submission of Arvedi’s bid, in addition to that of Jindal, is certainly a new development and represents an important step, but does not, at this stage, allow for any assessment to be made of the steel group’s future plans and the consequences in strategic, production and employment terms.” This was stated in a joint statement by Ferdinando Uliano, General Secretary of Fim-Cisl; Samuele Lodi, General Secretary of Fiom-Cgil; and Davide Sperti, General Secretary of Uilm-Uil. For Fim, Fiom and Uilm, “it is essential that the Government convenes the trade unions at Palazzo Chigi as soon as possible, following through on the commitment made and taking into account what was formalised in the minutes of 27 October. ‘Those minutes must form the backbone of any industrial plan,’ the trade unionists emphasise. Finally, Fim, Fiom and Uilm reiterate that ‘any solution must provide for a direct role for the State in the company’s ownership structure and an assumption of responsibility for ensuring transparency regarding the outcome of the procedure, in order to immediately open a genuine dialogue. The future of workers and entire communities cannot be left to press rumours or to decisions taken without the involvement of workers and their representatives”.
