Eni, unions call for the sale of chemical Versalis: strike on January 20 – The Messenger

The unions have come out “unhappy” from the table on Versalis, the company that operates in the chemicals sector Eni, which was held at the Ministry of Economic Development and, as announced some leaders after the meeting, confirmed the strike eight hours of all workers Eni and Saipem scheduled on January 20. The table to the Ministry of Economic Development is still open.

“The world landscape and changing business, highlights yet, despite the efforts made, the structural limits that require the identification of a partner to ensure continuity to the investment plan developed by Eni, ensuring the development program of Versalis and strengthening it further, “he reiterated Eni after the meeting today. The oil group also confirmed its intention to “maintain a significant stake to guarantee the concrete realization of the objectives” and reiterates the posts already announced: confirmation of the investment plan, the maintenance of the industrial perimeter for at least five years, maintenance of employment for at least three years, confirms the Italian company based in Italy.

During the meeting, the statement said, “Eni confirmed the importance of the transformation plan Versalis, that in the short term allowed to bring the business sector, a sharp loss for years to record positive results starting in the first 9 months of 2015. The transformation strategy is centered on the focus on products with high added value (specialties), on the rationalization and efficiency of operations, on international development through strategic partnerships with major global players and the development of green chemistry. “

The possible partners, continues,” will have the availability and expertise to allow to exchange or expand the portfolio of technologies Versalis order to generate new opportunities for growth and investment. ” During the meeting, Eni has confirmed that it will continue to ensure a constant dialogue with all social partners to illustrate in a timely manner to future developments.

“Eni is a company owned but is autonomous: the Government It is involved, but the current conditions are not those of the past. I agree that chemistry remains Italian and we act because the subject (buyer, ed) is solid and reliable, “said Minister of Development, Federica Guidi, the table of Versalis, according to trade union sources said.

“The Government – Guidi said in a statement announcing a new meeting of the board in a short time – does not intend to dismantle the chemistry in Italy. While respecting the management of Eni, will follow closely the developments concerning the plan for you to achieve a solid project that it prospects for growth and employment “.

At the meeting Guidi is committed to evaluate opportunities that ensure perspectives to chemistry, a strategic sector for the country was then sworn in on the discussion table on chemical Eni.

“The answer Eni – said the secretary of Uiltec Paolo Pirani – it is insufficient, therefore we confirmed the strike of 20 “. “The mobilization – said the general secretary of the CGIL Susanna Camusso – will continue”, since “today Eni has made no meaningful commitment to the fundamental issue that we place: the fate of chemistry and green chemistry in this Country”. Camusso has also described as “good news,” the government’s intention to “maintain a table here. We could interpret it – he explained – as the will to put some stake in more than Eni. Is the attitude of a choice is not acceptable and that it seems very dangerous for the country. “

” Dissatisfied “said he was also the leader of the UIL Carmelo Barbagallo, that” the government must do its part of the industrial policy. ” The solution, he added Giuseppe Farina CISL “is the maintenance of the project of green chemistry and that this project is ensured by Eni.” “They told us – he finally said Angelo Colombini of Femca CISL – that there are more partners and evaluate what will be more relevant to their conditions.”
