Premier Matteo Renzi said
Friday that the government is "very close to a solution" for the
troubled AST steel plant in the Umbrian city of Terni that is
threatened with closure. Workers there have been on strike for
weeks hoping to convince the German-owned company to change its
plan to cut up to 550 jobs there. Renzi said that if
"responsibility prevails", an agreement on saving the plant can
be achieved. AST CEO Lucia Morselli said Thursday that the
company's steel plant won't be dismantled.
