Cairo Montenotte. Another possible tile for the industrial fabric of Savona and Val Bormida: today, during the meeting of the European Works Council (EWC), Schneider announced the sale of the Cairo Montenotte plant, as part of a corporate restructuring process.
Among the new addresses, the one on the production site in Cairo: “The Cairo Montenotte plant will be sold to a Schneider supplier, who will have to guarantee its industrial development and consolidation” reported the unions convened by the company management. Forms, methods and, above all, employment aspects, yet to be defined and discussed.
Fim, Fiom and Uilm have already proclaimed the mobilization and for tomorrow the workers’ assemblies have been called: “We express total dissent on the company’s will to put the 130 workers of the Cairo Montenotte plant outside the perimeter of the group, allocating them to a future to say little uncertain “.
Current transformers and voltage transformers, as well as sensors and other electrical equipment, are produced in the cairese plant.
So another blow on the employment front, with 130 workers in fact at risk, in an industrial context that is already difficult to say the least, like the one in Valbormido, impoverished over the years of its main manufacturing companies.
The trade unions are already working to define an appropriate strategy with the workers and the local institutions themselves. The announced sale to a supplier, in fact, does not currently provide any job guarantee, generating a climate of strong social apprehension in the event of new job bleeding.
Meanwhile, the first act of the state of agitation has already been proclaimed: two hours of strike at the end of the shift for the day of 8 October, with forms and methods of protest that will be established during the confrontation between trade unions and workers.
