Electrolux: unilateral dismissals withdrawn, new plan for 1,250 voluntary exits

Electrolux has presented a new plan which provides for the withdrawal of the unilateral layoffs announced by the multinational. The new proposal includes investments of 90 million euros and a voluntary incentive plan for up to 600 employees and 650 workers in three years and social safety nets to manage the transition. However, the new plan that Electrolux presented at Mimit provides for a total of 1,250 voluntary exits in three years. According to what we understand, the multinational is proposing a voluntary incentive plan for up to 600 employees and 650 workers.

Ciriani: unacceptable layoff plan

"During today's discussion a notable step forward was recorded on the Electrolux affair. Thanks to the work of the government, the first thing the company withdrew the plan which envisaged more than 1700 layoffs and in prospect a very high risk of relocation or even worse of sale of the factories, including the one in Porcia. This was unacceptable for us because it constituted a social disaster. The new plan, which for the moment we welcome, instead focuses on voluntary and incentivized exits to be carried out in three My personal commitment, like that of the government, is to keep Porcia central in Electrolux's prospects. The next objective is to close the agreement with the company by the end of October, the attention however remains very high to best protect the workers and the industrial prospect of white. Luca Ciriani, minister for relations with Parliament, declared this after the discussion on the Electrolux dispute.
