From March 19 Ilva in Taranto stop the blast furnace 5, the biggest d ‘ Europe. The bus stop is due to the need to carry out the works of modernization measures envisaged by the integrated environment. As a result the company has proposed today to Metalworkers the use of solidarity contracts for 4500 units per year.
Both the renewal of solidarity in Taranto, where he has been in force for two years, that the stop in advance of the blast furnace 5, were already planned. The novelty is that the Ilva today reiterated that turns off the blast furnace 5 but will not turn back the advance 1 blast furnace, idle since early December 2012 also here to work Hague.
This system will restart only 1 August. This means that for over four months the steel of Taranto will have in two production on four blast furnaces with a significant reduction in the amount of pig iron produced because the only blast furnace 5 constitutes 40 percent of the whole volume. Only from August onwards the production of pig iron ascend, but will not reach the level that you have with the blast furnace 5 in activities.
It is not excluded that the restart of the blast furnace 1 can also take place before 1 August, but for now it is only a hypothesis. Instead it is likely – although today Ilva has alluded to the unions – that the stop of the blast furnace 5 determines downstream other stops such as the steel 1 being no correlation between the various systems and being that of Tara nto a production cycle Integral. Against the stop 5 of the blast furnace and the maintenance of the firm one of the blast took place Marco Bentivogli, general secretary of the FIM CISL, calling it “a gamble” because the plant in Taranto leads to a drastic drop in production while the special commissioners of ‘company previously had pledged to shut down the blast furnace 5 only after putting in motion the blast furnace 1.
The renewal of contracts of solidarity following the announcement days ago to Ilva unions, when the company has excluded the use of layoffs and agreed to renew the social security benefits already in use, because in the meantime came the ok from the Ministry of Labour. Friday rsu and company will review the numbers of solidarity and next Tuesday the agreement on the renewal could be signed. In the two years solidarity was signed in Taranto for about 3400 employees in rotation but in fact used for 1200-1600 according to the contingencies. Now, however, with two blast furnaces still, the workers would be the ones actually in solidarity under the Agreement or otherwise in a number very close.
