Ex Alcoa, here are the news for the Portovesme site
The intervention of Valerio D'Alò, national secretary of Fim Cisl, on the industrial plan presented today by the company
After the agreement on the price of energy signed on July 22 between Sider Alloys and Enel, which represented a step towards the relaunch of the plant, the resumption of production activities at the Portovesme site and the revamping of the lines, after very difficult years, today the company presented the updated industrial plan with the planned investments.
A positive sign for workers on layoffs who will be recalled in the next few days but above all for workers on the move for a long time who finally see a hope of resuming work. For workers on the move it was decided to call a table at the Ministry of Labor for the problem of the expiry of the extension and a possible intervention on the small amounts paid to workers.
The agreement provided for Enel to grant Sider Alloys a 5-year energy supply contract plus another 5 at a competitive price.
This morning we asked the Government and the company questions about the energy issue, about the interruptibility and the ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) concessions which have been confirmed and which therefore will not be a reason for slowing down the plan. We also asked for clarification on the re-start of the foundry as the scrap supply market is in crisis globally.
In any case, an operation that has moved a situation that represented an impasse for the resumption of the production process should be enhanced.
A permanent table has been agreed through our territorial structures which, as of Wednesday, will see the discussion of merit on all phases of restarting the industrial plan and reintegration of workers, therefore we will continue to monitor step by step the development of both pre-Revamping investments. that of Revamping of the plants so that this project can finally be completed.
71 units are expected to return from Monday.
In addition, a meeting was agreed with the Sardinia region to establish training courses aimed at the relocation of workers on all the revamping processes that will have to be carried out.
