Italian oil and gas giant Eni and
labor unions signed a memorandum of understanding on Thursday on
the future of the Gela refinery in Sicily, union sources said.
The two sides confirmed the validity of 2013 and 2014
agreements concerning the refinery in Gela and a petrochemical
facility in Porto Marghera, an industrial area of Venice.
Eni agreed to act on a redevelopment program that
management and labor agreed to a year ago.
Earlier this month, Gela refinery workers threatened "war
on all fronts" in protest against company plans to revoke a
promised 700-million-euro investment in the refinery.
The parties agreed to begin a policy review in order to
reach a new agreement regarding Eni's industrial prospects.
They are scheduled to meet again next month.
