In Italy, a metallurgical plant was stopped. 20,000 workers captured the factory management

The investigation of the damage to the ILVA by the Italian metallurgical plant ended in imposing the arrest on the implementation of the already produced metal rolling and stopping production capacities. On November 26, the Taranto District Court ruled that domain and coke -chemical production should be stopped due to the negative impact on the environment.

The management of Riva Group, which includes the ILVA, published a press release in which it reported the closure of the entire metallurgical complex in connection with the seizure on the already finished products.

On November 27, 2012, 20 thousand employees of the metallurgical plant captured the company’s office building and organized a protest against production stopping. The Minister of the Environment Corrado Klini said that the government is also trying to find a way out of the situation. “I think that by Thursday we will be able to find a solution,” he said. Building tent structures , the workers spent the night on the territory of the commercial plant.

The leadership of the ILVA metallurgical plant last week agreed with the Italian government to reconstruct and modernize domestic and coke -chemical production, which would continue to continue production activities with minimal damage to the environment. Representatives of the missile plant turned to the prosecutor of the city of Taranto with a request to temporarily allow production on some units of the plant, but received a categorical refusal.
