The situation of MTM, which works for over a year have settled in Livorno, has become a national case, indeed a national symbol. More than 400 workers and only 10 made, the other running quarterly or every six months for various temporary agencies in rotation. In short, even Repubblica and L'Espresso call it a case record with almost 90% of temporary workers. Only in Livorno, Livorno even as the Red Like many who live in the myths, seems to be regarded as a thing or almost tolerable. in May with one of our interview with a worker we were able to expose this shame that until then had been hidden by everyone, including the unions. Then after 4 months the Tyrrhenian came up with a fake scoop and tones from indignation. Indignation lasted barely a day because this morning describing the Tyrrhenian Livorno as the new capital of the installation of a gas system with the recruitment of Mercury, with accompanying tones almost justifies the situation of Mtm. In short, the Tyrrhenian Sea and returned to the ranks and is ready to serve with the administration of our territory and our rights to anyone, just working ports. A mindset that places our region in a downward spiral in which we give away health, rights and pollution in a completely uncritical with the excuse of the crisis. With this mentality, it turns out that thanks to crisis at the end manage to repeal the Statute of Workers without a law.
The next meeting will be Thursday, December 3 at the factory trade union convened hastily by CGIL, CISL and UIL for fear that the discontent of the workers were intercepted by the Cobas who wheel out of the factory . The Cobas, contacted by some workers, trade union federations have asked to be part of that assembly. At the time, but got no response from the union headquarters base in Pisa and Livorno are not given pervinti: "Even if we do not accept at that assembly will continue to follow the vicissitudes of that factory. It is not only a matter of contract, but also of rhythm of work, breaks, canteen. There is only one stove microwave for more than 400 workers. If one says many do not believe it. "The company is justified in saying that he needs time to settle and that if the government does not know prorogherà Fiananziaria in the incentive to gas. And then makes it clear that both the Biagi law can do what you think. Cobas The union's answer: "Even if it were true, we pose a question. Of orders as this will decrease if there was no incentive on gas? 50%? 70%?. Ok, so it means that over 400 workers, also 150/200 can be taken immediately because otherwise a company with 2.5% of staff engaged makes no sense to exist or to be on the market regardless of incentives ". red.

"L 'Alcoa is now ours. " The workers occupied the factory and continue to work
Video will not have answers
PORTOVESME (CAGLIARI) - "Excuse me, we joked." Thus, ironically, plays the announcement came yesterday from the top of Alcoa: Christmas in the aluminum factory Portovesme close. How the agreement, brokered by the Minister Scajola, was signed in Rome just last Thursday. The workers of Alcoa, in a procession in front of Palazzo Chigi, caught that day were the police baton to defend the work and the survival of the factory. It seemed that they had a first result brought home. After meeting with the Minister and the unions, in fact, the leaders of the U.S. company had said it would withdraw its decision to close the factory. But yesterday morning, in a meeting with Hugh Cappellacci, PDL President of Sardinia Region, the company announced a dramatic turn around. A Portovesme tension immediately rose to the highest levels. The workers occupied the factory and have blocked with large piles of raw aluminum gates, blocking within two executives of Alcoa, the plant manager and production manager. In a video posted online, have indicated that the site will remain occupied until the company does not withdraw its diktat. In the film you see two workers with blacks hood fell on his face saying: "We have seized the factory with all the managers within. The declaration of Alcoa to close the factory can not be implemented. Remove the seizure only after the Alcoa has withdrawn its decision. " The problem to solve is the cost of electrical supplies. The European Commission has not yet stated what the U.S. multinational aluminum must return for subsidized energy prices in 2006 benefited from the establishments Portovesme in Sardinia, and Fusina, Veneto, judged by the EU 'aid was unlawful. " There is talk of some 300 million €. Thursday in Rome, the corporation announced it would appeal to the European Court of Justice against the decision of the EU Commission and, pending the outcome of the appeal, it would suspend its decision, announced over a month ago, to close the factory. Yesterday hath been understood that it was a colossal joke: Alcoa, said the manager Cappellacci, will stop production in both its Italian plants (which have a production capacity of 194,000 tons of aluminum a year) . Unsustainable, say executives of the multinational, is the uncertainty on the supply for the future of energy at competitive prices and, more immediately, the negative financial impact caused decision by the EU Commission.
procedures to stop the plant should begin immediately, ending - as estimated by Alcoa - by the second half of December. For the European Commissioner for Competition, Neelie Kroes, the facilities granted to Alcoa, which depends on the workplace of 2,500 people between direct and indirect, have distorted competition. Now the company's workers to blackmail to pressure the Italian government, with the aim of achieving the EU what the EU does not seem in any way willing to concede: the confirmation of the preferential tariffs and withdrawal of penalty. Alcoa serves the workers as human shields. It is difficult to understand by the words uttered yesterday by Klaus Kleinfeld, the president of the company: 'It is a black day for European heavy industry. Especially in a time of economic crisis, the decision of the EU is difficult to understand. Skilled jobs and will be lost indefinitely, facilities will be closed and companies in Europe will not be able to compete more. " "We will continue to use all the tools - added Marcos Ramos, president of Alcoa Europe - so that all our staff can return to work. We want to thank our employees and their representatives for having done an outstanding job. " In short, you are good, the bad guys are in Brussels, but if we do not cut the power to pay you you: all in fun.

Phonemedia: GOVERNMENT AND 'Fugitive! SALARIES AND WORKERS TO ENSURE THE FUTURE JOBS
What male and female workers between 6000 Group Phonemedia're living in, is yet another episode of a severe economic crisis that calls into question the future employment and salary. It's not fair that workers pay more!
The new property, the Omega SpA, already seen in so many ways retraces open disputes in our country: first incamera public funding (in the case of millions of euro), and the other refuses to draw a production perspective . That can not be the outcome!
Berlusconi, instead of cleaning up the banks and save the bankers, the real architects of this economic crisis, or to spend time with strummer and tissues, do everything possible to save the jobs of 6000 employees of the Group Phonemedia and guarantees the payment of back wages.
It is unacceptable that wages are not paid since August and this is used by Omega SpA as a weapon to pressure the public clients that employ the Group.
Communist PRC is committed: * To promote
all the proposals, so that where necessary, the regions are activated for redundancy notwithstanding, in support of workers' incomes.
* A report on the absence of the Berlusconi government Phonemedia each group, so it is with the crises of other industry groups.
* To support the struggles of workers and the union for the payment of back wages and the prospect for future employment for the entire group.
* To create conditions for greater unity, communication, socialization among the workers' struggles that are developing in our country, against the effects of the economic crisis and the nefarious policies of the Government.
