The stakes
“In Italy – we read in the presentation poster of the conference – a too rapid green transition risks jeopardizing 70 thousand jobs in metalworking component companies.
At the same time, the green transition leads companies to evaluate and act more with respect to the environmental impact of the industrial process as a whole. and the related responsibilities towards the environment itself.
Companies, industry associations and trade unions are asking institutions to avoid heavy backlash.
The aim of the two round tables is to understand the positions of the various social parties (territorial, national and European), facilitate their comparison in a constructive and participatory manner and highlight the requests, not only towards national governments, but also towards the newly elected European Community”.
The intense day of work will open with greeting speeches of the general secretaries of the CISL metalworkers of Brescia, Stephen Olivariand of Lombardy, Mirko Dolzadelliand of Barbara Arsieninational manager of the international office of Fim CISL.
