Strike at Jabil's Marcianise Plant Called Off

The eight-hour strike by workers scheduled for April 10 at the multinational Jabil's Marcianise facility has been revoked. The decision by the unions came following the postponement to April 30 of the meeting at Mimit originally planned for tomorrow. An important meeting in which the discussion was to revolve around the expiring wage supplementation scheme on May 31 for the 420 workers of the Jabil site but above all about the future prospects of the Caserta plant of the US multinational - the only one in Italy - going through a production crisis that has led in the last 4-5 years to the departure from the Jabil workforce of almost three hundred workers, most of whom were rehired at the expense of Jabil itself in other companies - Softlab and Orefice - within the framework of reindustrialization plans that, however, have never taken off. The 420 workers remaining in Marcianise - currently at the Jabil plant, charging stations for electric cars on behalf of Enel and microchips for Pirelli are being produced - are highly concerned about the imminent expiration of the social cushion, and for this reason have been strongly requesting a summons to Mimit for weeks. A way also to understand the real intentions of the company's leaders, who after the redundancies in recent years had still expressed the intention to reach a workforce of 250 units, which would ensure the survival of the production site, but which would however involve another 170 redundancies. In a note, the company's union delegates (Rsu), express "extreme concern for this further delay" and confirm "the state of agitation".
