Description
The American multinational company Kemet, manufacturing capacitators and other electrical components, announced its intention to reduce the workforce of its Pontecchio Marconi plant by 105 workers, who are currently receiving social benefits.
Once the dismissal ban and the solidarity contract will expire, the company intends to propose incentives to accompany these workers to leave the company, since it is currently operating at a loss.
The trade union started organising protest activities, among which also a strike and a permanent sit-in in front of the plant, against the company's decison.
