Rome, 3 August (LaPresse) – “Today’s extraordinary strike action by workers at ADI in AS, Ilva in AS and contractors was carried out with the utmost determination to send a clear message to the government, which tomorrow will have to engage with the trade unions on the basis of the proposals we outlined today at the general meeting. We are determined to pursue these proposals without making any concessions to anyone.” This is stated in a press release from the provincial secretariats and RSUs of Fim, Fiom, Uilm and Usb. “The workers’ participation in the first day of industrial action, called by Fim, Fiom, Uilm and Usb, demonstrates that the era of delays and misguided decisions by successive governments has failed to resolve the former Ilva dispute. Fourteen years of emergency decrees, without even the slightest outline of industrial policy, have led to a series of interventions by the judiciary which undoubtedly have deep-rooted causes and, above all, have failed to provide the right solutions to the crisis the city has been experiencing for years now, forced to choose between work and health,” they continue. “The time has come to provide answers to the workers and the city.”
Former Ilva workers, trade unions: ‘If we don’t get answers, we’ll keep striking’
