(Finance) – “Without the production continuity of the Trieste site of Wartsila, the services and research and development activities are not sustainable. Therefore, the entire Group in Italy and all related industries are at risk. We are talking about 1,500 workers overall. Ua dramatic situation to be avoided at all costs. For this reason, on Saturday I will be in the square for a demonstration of enormous social value, an opportunity for a message of hope, but also a moment in which politics understands that we are facing a dramatic dispute, on which it must not speculate for electoral purposes. and that it must necessarily have a positive solution. Our priority objectives are the safeguarding of jobs, the withdrawal of the dismissal procedure and the convening of an urgent table at the Ministry of Economic Development “. Thus the Secretary General Uilm, Rocco Palombella, in an interview with Il Piccolo in view of the event of 3 September in Trieste.
“We must remember – underlines the leader Uilm – that we are not defending an obsolete or unprofitable reality, but, on the contrary, we ask that it can continue to produce a strategic plant for the entire economy that revolves around Europe. modern factory, which works, which gives income. This is why we are convinced that in the end it will be a winning fight because the reasons for the defense have an evident concreteness “. “We must not make the State intervene because the company is deceased, but because we must not undergo this sort of redistribution of the industrial system – he continues – Nationalization, precisely to defend the investments made in recent years, is a way to go, not because, in general, it is a panacea, but because, in this specific case, it solves an unequal confrontation, that between Finland that internalizes and an Italy that could give up an important asset after having invested so many resources. The state must take a strong position towards the Finns: if you are unable to continue producing in Italy, we will intervene to protect a healthy company “.
“After the demonstration on Saturday – continues Palombella – we will ensure that there is a continuity of struggle without any kind of hesitation. We want there to be an action by the Government that points to a single result: the withdrawal of the dismissal procedure “.
