Fim, Fiom and Uilm have rejected as "unacceptable" the plan of esuberi introduced today from the Finnish group Wärtsilä Corporation ( on 29 January 2014), that it has about 18.700 dependent and in Italy appoints to a job some 1.500 people distributed in the center of Trieste and the offices and plants to Genoa, Milan, Naples and Taranto.

The trade-union representations Fim, Fiom and Uilm of the plants of Trieste, Genoa and Naples are convened today by the leadership of the Wärtsilä Italy in order to inform them on the decision to proceed to a reorganization that world-wise previews the mass in esubero per thousand employee. The three unions have announced that the company has declared that this reorganization will have heavy effects also on the Italian work force for a total of 10% of the total force job of the group, clarifying but that such choice does not regard the recent vicissitudes managed with the ordinary redundancy fund, but is imputable exclusively to the choices of the corporation world-wide consequent to an appraisal of the course of the total market, to the necessity of being more competitive is in terms of operativity, quality and flexibility going to a systematic elimination of all those functions that does not produce of the profits and that they create exclusively of the costs.

According to Fim, Fiom and Uilm, "all this, very more banally, regard the choice of management of the multinational, to maintain to the profits, saving 60 million euros high annual through the mere reduction of the organic ones". "Although the Wärtsilä management team has restated the role key of Italy inside of the future order and total of the multinational - they have emphasized the three labor organizations - for the national coordination Fim Fiom Uilm this choice is unacceptable. Wärtsilä Italy Spa - they have found - is not a company in crisis and the optimal results in terms of annual turnover are profitable explicit as on the skin the workers and the workers it is wanted to be operated to exclusive guarantee of an increase of the dividends to recognize the shareholders".

"The national coordination Fim Fiom Uilm of the Wärtsilä Italy moreover - they have specified the three unions - rejects totally this reorganization, as shaded from the argument on a possible interest of the Rolls-Royce group, on the assets of the group world-wise", interest that is confirmed in recent days by the two same companies, than but they have specified to have stopped the negotiations ( on 9 January 2014). ""Said" - according to Fim, Fiom and Uilm - a plan could not regard that little has something to do with the sustainability financial institution of the group, but that instead in the real intentions it intends to return to an eventual buyer the total package of the Finnish society attractive".

The national coordination Fim Fiom Uilm has asked the immediate convocation for a table of argument with Wärtsilä with the scope to avoid the lay-offs and to obtain in the immediate one of the guarantees through an industrial plan and has recalled all the institutions to a fort engagement so that the places of work and the rights of all the operating workers in the Italian group are safeguarded.

"In front of the progressive deindustrializzazione of our territory and in front of the continuous one I attack to the rights of the workers and of the blackmailed workers with the loss of the place of work - it has concluded the national coordination Fim Fiom Uilm of the Wärtsilä Italy - it goes put a limit before it is too late. The institutions must be made loaded with this argument, than it not only regards in direct way our company, our territory; but that it speaks to a Country deeply torn to pieces from a total absence of real industrial politics".
