Industry ad Labour Minister Luigi
Di Maio on Friday convened trade unions for September 5 to
discuss troubled steelmaker ILVA and its takeover by Arcelor
Mittal, sources said.
It was not immediately known whether this would avert a
September 11 strike the unions called for not being consulted
earlier Friday.
ILVA's polluting Taranto plant, the largest steelworks in
Europe, is set for a clean-up and about 4,000 redundancies under
ArcelorMittal's plan.
The government and unions want the consortium to cut the
redundancies.
