Workers from the former Ilva of Cornigliano occupy the Genoa airport

"We officially declare that the airport is occupied." Thus the former Ilva workers of Cornigliano as soon as they entered the boarding area of ​​the 'Colombo' in Genoa.

The demonstration was decided after the news of the company's request for a new redundancy fund. "They put us in a position to force and we will force, just to be very clear. Because in this country if the issues don't explode we won't get anywhere", said Armando Palombo (Fiom) opening the assembly of the workers of the former Ilva in Genoa Cornigliano, denouncing the failure of the commissioners: "On Wednesday they signed in Rome and sent a letter to the prefect which guaranteed production continuity. On Friday, at midnight, they sent a certified e-mail mocking the whole city: whoever signs on Wednesday a white card and on Friday a black one is a scoundrel. Genoa cannot wait ten years for the green while the market is hot: the rolls must arrive immediately".

Nicola Appice (Fim Cisl) emphasized the overall dispute and the imminent ruling of the Supreme Court for Taranto: "The three days under the prefecture seemed to have guaranteed a temporary supply of 35 thousand tons of coils so as not to stop Genoa. Then on Friday came the communication of a redundancy fund which risks blocking entire departments, including the clerical ones. If those stop, all the remaining processing risks blocking. We need to guarantee supplies immediately: we are ready do anything to save your job." Closing the speeches from the stage was Fabio Ceraudo, from Usb, who reiterated the need for Genoa to defend its industrial presence.
