Workers in action against the 131 redundancies, waiting for the table at the ministry on 5 October
AI-generated summary
Ericsson has made 131 layoffs, triggering trade union mobilization and the intervention of local institutions.
"Ericsson Italy shipwreck": this is one of the signs displayed by workers in front of the Genoa International Boat Show to protest against the 131 layoffs decided by the Swedish company.
"The Show is the ideal place - explains Sonia Montaldo, general secretary of Slc Cgil - because politicians come and we need great visibility to keep their attention high. We have a summons to the ministry on 5 October and we are relying heavily on this. Yesterday in the commission the company did not even give answers to the parliamentarians' questions - recalled Montaldo -. Our only request is the withdrawal of the procedure which is wrong, has a formal flaw. A prior communication should have been given. And therefore it must be revoked without any doubts and without buts. We hope that Minister Urso will stop. We will continue with the mobilization, a strike is planned on the 7th."
The President of the Region
"We cannot allow an important company like Ericsson to leave Genoa. We absolutely want there to be confirmation that they remain here. And in addition to the confirmation that they remain here, we also want confirmation that if a product division is cancelled, which is absolutely normal in companies, it must be replaced with another product division." The president of the Liguria Region Marco Bucci said this to the workers of the Swedish company who are protesting in front of the International Boat Show.
