CASALE MONFERRATO. For the unions tomorrow will be a busy Monday. The most important commitment is that made by the metalworkers immediately after the accident that took place on Friday at the Cold Car in Occimiano, where the worker Mounir Lechheb was crushed by a door that collapsed on him.
The three trade unions Fiom, Fim and Uilm have declared a strike-assembly in the three plants, two in Occimiano and one in Casale, of the Cold-Car group. “Not to indicate the culprits – says the trade unionist Fiom Maurizio Cantello – but to start a new culture on safety, because there are too many accidents at work”.
We need more awareness for workers on the risks they run and «it is necessary – add the trade unions – to raise awareness of greater compliance with the rules. Deaths at work are the sign of a sick country that does not respect work and people ”. The second Casalese appointment is with the German multinational Freudenberg which is abandoning the Mombello plant, where it produced ironing boards, to move it to Monselice (Padua) and with the Jumbo company of Serralunga di Crea which has acquired the Valcerrina factory to move there. its production of felts and elements for the home, adding a production of stairs and stools, traditionally worked in the Mombello plant in the previous management of the former Framar and former Gimi. On the balance side, the severance pay for those who have not been hired and the agreements with the new owner for the thirty workers who will be part of the new company probably from the beginning of March. Then there will also be a crisis table agreed with the Municipality of Casale after the closure of the historic Cerutti brand to understand how to move around the area to give work to those left without. “It is true that some of the former Cerutti workers have found employment in the area – say Maurizio Cantello, Alberto Pastorello and Calogero Palma, voices of the three metalworking unions – but the problem must also be tackled with new training to facilitate re-entry into production”. – © breaking latest news
