Sixty-nine tables open, with the future hanging in the balance for over 80,000 workers.
Thus opens 2022 on the front of corporate crises in Italy. Situations that in some cases have been dragging on for years and that also concern strategic sectors, such as air transport (think of the Air Italy dispute , with 1,322 employees who will soon receive the company's dismissal letter) and the automotive sector.
Luca Annibaletti, coordinator of the new structure for business crises of the Ministry of Economic Development, which officially took office just under a month ago, outlines a picture of the situation.
"According to the investigation conducted by the structure, the crisis tables currently open at the Mise are 69, with 55 active tables and 14 monitoring tables for a total of over 80 thousand workers involved", he explained.
In the next few days, "all the main tables, including the one relating to Gkn , for which a trade union agreement will have to be reached and the re-industrialization process will have to be concretized" will be reconvened at the ministry.
"The crises are of a financial, industrial nature or related to the closure or conversion of production plants" and the "sectors most affected are the automotive, steel-metalworking, household appliances and air transport sectors, while the sectors are less involved where the typical excellences of Made in Italy are concentrated ", explained the director of the department.
At a geographical level, he specified, "from a purely numerical point of view, the crises are distributed throughout Italy, even if some concentrations in the Belluno area, in Piombino and in the southern and island regions have a greater influence on the fabric".
