Ilva, the induced companies ready to stop: "Mittal has overdue bills for millions of euros". And a company does not pay salaries to 50 workers

There are invoices for million euros not paid by ArcelorMittal to suppliers. At least 5 seconds Confindustria Taranto, whose associates Tuesday have put in notice the steel multinational. To the tenants of theex Ilva fewer than 48 hours to pay off the debt, then from the weekend there is the risk that the companies of theinduced stop, complicating even more the situation in a plant near paralysis. Certainly the companies, already in apnea in 2015 for a "hole" from 150 million administration, now reeling. And the "Reassurance" on "compliance with commitments" given by the managing director Lucia Morselli to the governor of Puglia, Michele Emiliano, intentions remain at the moment.

So the liquidity crisis expands like an oil stain. Of the middle there are not only the Enetec, fc is Iris that in recent days have announced the ordinary layoff fund for 246 employees in total. Wednesday fell to Gamit, engaged in mechanical maintenance for the iron and steel industry, inform the trade unions of the impossibility of disbursing them salaries of October a 50 workers because "it has not been seen pay bills from the multinational ", they report Fiom, Uilm is Fim-Cisl.

Tuesday evening the president of the industrialists from Taranto Antonio Marinaro, speaking of situation "unsustainable", explained that the companies have put ArcelorMittal in arrears with a "single and predefined text", sent via Pec by the same Confindustria. "We are talking about bills already expired for a total amount of several million of Euro. If the answer is not there, it will be inevitable that the companies that have construction sites in ArcelorMittal will stop ”. At the iron and steel, it was Marinaro's message, "we will no longer guarantee any services" and at the same time "the layoff fund in our companies with suspension of personnel from work ”.

To understand the extent of the problem, if the already expired invoices are added to those expiring – according to union sources contacted by Ilfattoquotidiano.it – the amount of receivables due from ArcelorMittal is around 50 million euros. "The contagion risk in short, with a heavy impact on employment, it is just around the corner ", warns the general secretary of Puglia of the Fiom Giuseppe Romano. And it wouldn't be painless. The former Ilva's armature employs approximately 5 thousand people engaged in almost 200 companies. Not to mention that if companies decide to stop, the iron and steel company risks paralysis: around the dying blast furnaces work companies engineering and of the most varied services, give her canteens to cleaning up to transport.

"In Taranto yard that is being built in Rome, perhaps even with too much emphasis – says the general secretary of Uil Puglia, Franco Busto – it would be the case that one of the foundations was made up of incisive interventions for the rescue of the induced of the former Ilva, which although without all the media reflectors of the steel plant, shares thebitter fate is is suffering in silence to resist a dramatic situation, in which it also becomes an undertaking to guarantee the monthly salaries to workers ".
