Description
Ansaldo Energia, a company producing power plants and turbines, partially owned by the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, announced 100 redundancies among its white-collar workforce. Further 200 temporary suspensions to work for 18 months will take place through the social shock absorber instrument Cassa Integrazione.
