Ex Ilva, what changes after the sentence of the Council of State
The intervention of the general secretary of Fim Cisl, Roberto Benaglia, and of the national secretary of Fim Cisl, Valerio D'Alò, on the situation of the former Ilva
We hope that with today's ruling an uncertain and complicated phase will end that has certainly not facilitated the real discussion on the industrial perspective and the relaunch of Taranto and above all on the ecological transition that must become, together with the industrial plan, and the employment guarantee the central theme of a confrontation that must now urgently restart.
Today the sentence of the Council of State was published which in fact “cancels the contingent and urgent ordinance n.15 of February 27, 2020, and the note n.173, of March 29, 2020, of the Municipality of Taranto. The Council of State in jurisdiction (Section Four) has established that the hot area of the former Ilva di Taranto must not be turned off.
It is now necessary to make up for too much time lost, through concrete acts that allow the relaunch of the Acciaierie d'Italia group – continue the two trade unionists – therefore we expect from the company, immediately, responsibility and ability to direct investment choices with priority on enhancement and safeguarding of employment.
From the Government attention is paid to an industrial strategy on sustainable steelmaking that takes into account the strategic nature of Italy, of maintaining industrial sovereignty over steel. For this, concrete facts and results are needed starting from the investments and the definitive and majority entry of the State into the capital of Acciaierie d'Italia to which it is added, a concrete commitment that gives guarantee on the employment front, also for Ilva workers. in extraordinary administration.
It is necessary to give life immediately, to the production enhancement plan that satisfies the large demand for steel in progress and all the maintenance necessary to reactivate the plants safely and reabsorb as soon as too many workers on layoffs for this we must immediately resume the trade union confrontation on the choices of an industrial plan that combines health, environment and work. The workers and the city are at the end of the day, it is necessary to restore a perspective of work and the future where the environment, health and work are not in conflict with each other. It is important to open a fruitful and responsible social dialogue with the government but also with the territory.
Hence our request to the government to reactivate the ministerial table on Acciaierie D'Italia as soon as possible, a necessary condition for the definitive relaunch of the steel industry.
