(ANSA) - Turin, January 15 - Whirlpool unit Embraco on Monday
confirmed it was shutting down its Italy production with the
closure of its plant at Riva di Chieri near Turin and 497 job
losses, unions said Monday. Embraco last Wednesday started the
process of firing 497 of its 537 workers at the Riva di Chieri
plant. The factory's trade unions announced the move, which
comes three months after the company decided to cut production
there, shifting it to other factories in the group. Embraco
makes compressors for fridges.
