Ten days of pressure with government and union struggles bring home a first result: Whirlpool opens the proposal Minister of Economic Development Federica Guidi for a “confrontation without ruling on the plan” announced on April 16 that provides 500 million investment for the closure of sites Carinaro, None and Albacina more 1,350 redundancies in total, however, is not licensable before 2018.
It is not a victory, but a truce. For the government – which for nearly two weeks is engaged in an action of moral suasion – is still a political outcome. The move of the American multinational of appliances that nine months ago took over the Italian Indesit has arrived this morning at Mise, in the first real confrontation with acronyms and institutions. All while outside the offices of the department showed 600 workers, creating serious disruption to road traffic.

Inside the building there is the intention to shake on the deal and this was fixed a tight schedule of appointments that, at the time, will include meetings at Mise for April 29, 5:08 May. It will not be a walk, but the government aims to go all out, especially since, at the time of the acquisition of Indesit, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi personally put us face. Plus there is the agreement of December 2013 Indesit, Whirlpool inherited, as a starting point. Should be read in this direction the words of the minister Guidi: “The government’s priority is to work safely and durably to the whole group Whirlpool, from 1,350 workers now at risk.”

to the division of the multinational Italian, Davide Castiglioni, facing the pressure of Guidi gave up to castle, however, putting the record straight: “For us – he said – this is the best business plan possible to provide continuity in a sustainable way, today we declared the opening of discussing all points of the plan, even on Carinaro. ” A plan “seriously that must materialize in the not infinite”, preferably within six months. Incidentally for June the group should focus on the reorganization of the administrative, another chapter that creates some uneasiness between abbreviations. On this side, Today saw the return of trade union unity, after the tears of last week, when Fim Uilm and left the table, only to reiterate a no cleaning company to attempt to bring the dispute at the regional level. Mark Bentivogli, general secretary of Fim, the new plan “must include social sustainability and employment of 2013: there can be no shortcuts. In some areas of Italy as Caserta guarantee employment means ensuring the arrival of industrial activities and missions, not welfare. ”

Even Uilm not want to hear about shortcuts: “Given the fact – explains the general secretary Rocco Palombella – that there is already an agreement that assigns missions productive in every factory, with the obligation not to dismiss, that was signed just over a year ago and from that Whirlpool has inherited purchasing Indesit. ” Echoes Tiziana Bocchi, national secretary of Uil: “We can not allow our country to prevent further depletion of its industrial apparatus and even more so that this involves some areas already affected by the crisis.” Finally, according to Michela and Gianni Venturi hopes of Fiom, the initials engineering expression of CGIL is “ready to face a confrontation through which change the lines of the business plan and find a solution for all.” To get to the heart of the issues’ll have to wait for next Wednesday.
