Salis: “There is no optimism among the unions regarding Ilva”

“There is no optimism in the trade union environment regarding the former Ilva, there is no industrial perspective and this is very worrying”: the mayor of Genoa Silvia Salis is following the developments of the former Ilva affair and is constantly updated on the outcomes of the ongoing meetings and, on the sidelines of a press conference, she described the very delicate situation, especially on the repercussions that could be had in Genoa, in the Cornigliano plant. While the hot processing area is being shut down in Taranto, as a consequence in Cornigliano a collapse in supplies of coils and raw material, necessary for the plant's processing, is expected.

"I have continuous contacts with the unions even in these hours as I had in the previous days" but "there is not great optimism in the union environment and I believe that we can share it". The mayor of Genoa Silvia Salis does not hide her concern for the fate of the former Ilva and for the Genoa Cornigliano plant. "We don't see an industrial perspective and this is very worrying. It worries the national steel industry as a whole, but it also worries, obviously, the Genoa site connected to the sites in the North. In this sense these are certainly crucial times - he concluded - and in the next few days we will understand how the reaction of the unions will also evolve".
