(ANSA) – TURIN, NOV 26 – The long dispute of the former Embraco risks having a negative ending. In today’s meeting with the trade unions it emerged that the bankruptcy trustees of Ventures Production and Whirpool have requested an arrangement with creditors. “This is – says Vito Benevento, Uilm Torino organizational secretary – an unfortunate dispute, with a negative ending that should not have happened. Local institutions should build, as promised, a special training and relocation plan for the 400 former Embraco workers, in order to guarantee them new employment opportunities without anyone being abandoned to their fate “.
From the table – informs Uilm – the willingness on the part of the administrators appointed by the court emerged to close the bankruptcy ‘in bonis’, allocating the approximately 9 million euros of the reindustrialisation fund to pay the costs of the bankruptcy itself. With the breakdowns illustrated by the trustee, each worker, in addition to bankruptcy credits, would only have a sum equal to about 7 thousand euros gross. The positive outcome of the agreement is bound to the signing of a conciliation by at least 90 percent of the workers involved.
“We at Uilm – underlines Benevento – have always maintained from the first minute that, in the absence of reindustrialisation, the fund should have been destined entirely to workers. For them, in addition to the damage of having lost their jobs, we add the mockery of the absolute absence on the part of the Government. We remind you that despite the countless requests for meetings, no summons arrived from the Mise in the course of 2021 “.
For the 400 workers, the extraordinary redundancy fund expires on January 22, extended to July to avoid layoffs. “It is an endless shame, but the Government, the Institutions, where are they? They have to intervene immediately, workers do not deserve such a finale!”, Comments Ugo Bolognesi, of Fiom of Turin. (HANDLE).
