Tensions are sky-high at Sider Alloys in Portovesme, in the Sulcis industrial site, less than nine days before the scheduled meeting at Mimit on the dispute over the primary aluminium production plant, still awaiting revamping of the smelter.

This morning there was a new workers' meeting with the unions at the factory gates, after yesterday some material left the company that the workers and their union representatives believe should remain inside "as a guarantee of future production and employment and of the credits claimed by the employees themselves, who still have not received their salary and the 13th month's salary".

"We are waiting to be summoned by the prefect of Cagliari to whom we will reiterate these issues and reiterate that nothing must come out of the plant", explain the secretaries of Fiom, Fim and Uilm, Roberto Forresu, Giuseppe Masala and Renato Tocco, "In the meantime yesterday there was a face to face meeting with the assessor of Industry Cani in view of the January 30 meeting at Mimit. We are asking the ministry for an urgent change because we have already lost 7 years of time. If aluminum is strategic for the country, as has always been said, the Government must make a change of direction for the good of the territory and the workers who still believe, after years of struggle and sacrifice, that this production can be carried forward".
