Description

The international group Wella announced the decision to close down its plant in Castiglione delle Stiviere (Lombardia), thereby transferring the production to France. The closure will affect 185 employees, including 42 temporary agency workers. The unions are protesting against this decision and there have been some meetings which have so far left the situation and the company intentions unchanged.
