“Unfortunately, the decision of the Gkn management to close the Florence site has not changed. Only strong institutional action can at this point give a turning point to the dispute”.
This was declared by Gianluca Ficco, national secretary of Uilm, and Davide Materazzi, secretary of Uilm in Florence, following the meeting at the Ministry of Labor.
“The declared willingness of the company to resort to the redundancy fund for closure for a few months – explain the Uilm trade unionists – attests in fact that it persists in the infamous decision to cease the activity, nor the reference to possible re-industrialization has any concrete meaning, for the its absolute generic nature and uncertainty. As a union we certainly cannot be content with postponing the layoffs by a few months, rather it is our duty to try to save jobs “.

“On the dispute – conclude Ficco and Materazzi – we hope that two institutional interventions can influence, which potentially have a very important general scope: first of all the announced law that should discourage company closures, in addition the sector policies for the automotive sector, which are also more times announced “.
