3SUN Gigafactory in Catania delayed
In the meantime, among workers there is an increase in anxietiesabove all “among those who daily verify in the field the problems of the project and the possible limits connected to the creation of the panels as a result of assembly of parts (cells) coming from China“.
There Filctem Cgil of Catania Report furthermore that the company,”despite having complied with the hiring of part of the selected staff in recent months, after the declared commitments to start the first production lines by April, instead frozen startup activities keeping all staff on a daily basis.”
Clarity is needed
“In this way, she failed to comply with what was declared at the time of hiring regarding a quick insertion into continuous rotation activities. The enthusiasm much praised by the company in all institutional settings, including the European one, risks crashing into the wall of postponements in an extremely competitive market context, increasingly influenced by Asian countries“, goes on.
The Gigafactory project instead requires clarity and for this “Filctem – concludes the provincial secretariat – who cares about the 3SUN project and who works on it, will involve the institutional bodies who welcomed the potential of the investment”.
