ThyssenKrupp has agreed to cut
the lay-offs at its AST steel plant in the Umbrian town of Terni
from 537 to "140-150", Industry Minister Federica Guidi said
after talks with management Thursday. "AST has said it is ready
to reinforce the industrial plan," she said. The new plan will
include voluntary redundancies of around 140, she said. A fresh
meeting will take place next week. The AST crisis has become a
hot potato after workers were hurt in clashes with police in
Rome Wednesday.
