Countdown air and expectation among the 1,500 workers (700 only from contracts) of Portovesme srl, which has announced the stop of lead production in the Portovesme and San Gavino plants from February 1st.
Today Christian Solinas is in Rome to find a solution with the government to the problem of the costs - judged unsustainable by the company - of electricity . The national executive could modify the Energy Release decree or possibly find new formulas to get the plant going.
Without immediate and certain answers, the company will close in 20 days, even if it has confirmed that it has launched a study for the conversion of the plants. Which, however, does not give the workers certainties, considering that there are also the 392 who worked in the zinc line on layoffs at least until mid-February .
The metalworkers' unions (the contractors) met with the Councilor for Labor Ada Lai to talk about the possible implementation of social safety nets. And tomorrow from 7:30, at the entrance to the procurement desk of Portovesme srl, the general assembly of all metalworkers is convened by Fiom, Fsm and Uilm .
