CGIL, CISL, and UIL Sardegna express "serious concern" over the failure to convene a meeting regarding the Sider Alloys-Alcoa dispute , despite—as stated in a statement—"the repeated requests from the unions and the commitments made by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy during the meeting of September 17th." The same secretaries support the metalworkers' request "that Minister Urso convene a meeting and review the due diligence requested by the Greek multinational, which has not yet been granted."
According to the general secretaries Fausto Durante, Pier Luigi Ledda and Fulvia Murru , «the continuation of this situation contributes to worsening an already profound industrial crisis, leaving workers in a condition of unacceptable uncertainty and depriving an entire territory of concrete prospects for development».
The unions also contest the statements made to Report on January 11 by Sider Alloys, which – they claim – "attempts to shift any responsibility and role in the implementation of the clean-up."

"We're at a paradox," the secretaries continue, "since the former Alcoa plant sold to Sider Alloys received significant public resources through program agreements and financing aimed at reviving production and safeguarding jobs. Almost eight years have passed, and those resources have yielded nothing but the current stalemate."

For these reasons, the CGIL, CISL, and UIL unions are calling on the government to "assume immediate responsibility and make clear decisions." "It is necessary to clarify," they continue, " whether there is a genuine desire to maintain and revitalize a strategic supply chain like primary aluminum in Italy, or whether there is a continued intention to postpone fundamental decisions, with devastating social and economic consequences for workers and the region."

Finally, the CGIL, CISL, and UIL reiterate that the Sider Alloys dispute cannot be addressed as an isolated case, but must be part of a comprehensive discussion on Sardinia's industrial future : a strategy that brings together energy, infrastructure, production chains, and job quality.
