Wartsila: agreement signed during the night, ships for engine loading arriving in Trieste
[ad_1]
The agreement between Wartsila and the unions that put an end to the block on deliveries of engines manufactured by the Bagnoli della Rosandra site in Trieste arrived at 1:40 this morning. Already in these hours the first cargoes (the first is the “Deo Volente” which departed from Split in recent days) are appearing in the harbor at the Port of Trieste for the restart of delivery activities.
And if the unions have guaranteed to bring the production site back to normal, the company, which in its September quarterly report had announced additional costs of 75 million euros over the first 9 months of the year due to the ongoing dispute , undertook to maintain the current employment levels of the production site until 30 September 2023 also with the use of functional social safety nets to accompany the takeover of a new subject, in the shortlist of solutions that the ministry and the company’s advisor presented during the negotiation.
Solidarity contracts expected in March
Since March, however, the use of solidarity contracts has already been envisaged to manage the drop in orders linked to the abandonment of the production site by Wartsila. At the same time, the company has undertaken to invest 5 million euros of its own funds in the development of the R&D and Service area which, according to Wartsila’s plans, would remain in Trieste, even following the abandonment of production activities.
Urso: «Agreement signed to guarantee production continuity and relaunch of sites»
«The Wartsila agreement was signed overnight to guarantee the production continuity of the plants and to monitor the rescue and relaunch process. This is the mission of the Ministry of Enterprises». This was stated by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, commenting on the signing of the agreement.
Rodà (Uilm Uil): we are moving towards a form of recovery of normality
«The company, the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, and the representatives of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region have put their will in writing to accompany the reindustrialization process with a series of moments of discussion at Mimit itself. The first of these is expected in March 2023 – explains the secretary of Uilm Uil of Trieste and Gorizia Antonio Rodà. – With the signing of this agreement we are moving towards a form of recovery of normality. Albeit for a limited time. Now more than ever it is necessary for the Government to exercise its role to ensure that the possibilities of reindustrialization become certainties. We ask for a credible industrial plan which is an element of guarantee for employment and the industrial stability of the territory».
The hopes of a good outcome of the reindustrialization project are also linked to the fact that the Bagnoli della Rosandra site can boast, in addition to the significant spaces and the know-how of the workers, a very interesting logistical position, with its own quay on the port and a railway link that connects it to the Trieste interport and to the national railway network.
