The organizing committee for the Civic Party ComunitAttiva, candidate Pomarance guide to upcoming local elections, met with five unions Enel Larderello. The situation highlighted serious matter of concern.
The first issue addressed was that of asbestos. According to studies presented at the University of Pisa, it is possible that in the near future asbestos-related diseases in Val di Cecina become a social drama. The reclamation of the territory by Enel proceeded slowly, the air confined many to be reclaimed and the tracks still to report. We need updated maps of the paths. The employment situation is dramatic, have lost hundreds of jobs. On the territory issues are huge, this is an area that has suffered a massacre''social''. Only 600/700 Enel were lost jobs. Also this year there will be a net loss of approximately 50 jobs with no turn-over. To maintain employment on 740 units, as required by the protocol, we need at least 50 recruits. ENEL must comply with the protocols, to ensure the turn-over and the professionalism of its employees. The institutions are still, absent from the debate geothermal-employment Amiata there are significant problems, but traditional in silence reigns.
The economy, development and employment in the area, according to the union, still passes by ENEL, and everything is tied to geothermal energy. One of the problems that local authorities should immediately lift is one of the Enel / Region. They can be found in almost five years, with the new commissioner, Ms Bramerini, it seemed that the situation was released in 2008, but we point and head, the environmental impact has been positive, but nothing happened, in fact we riallontanati lens. The problems Amiata create uncertainty and workers on drilling on the development of power plants even in the traditional area and the whole cycle that leads to a lower and lower. The Bramerini has called into question the 2007 agreement stating that the concessions of the friend that expire in 2013, instead of maintaining the commitment to renew Enel until 2024, will be put to public tender. All this could cause an impact on Enel's investment plan will falter and the 2007 agreement. Local administrators, who say they are favorable to geothermal energy, what are they doing? Why do not intervene at an institutional level. What is the strategy? A component
union points out that the question of the traditional geothermal municipalities, are not united, the union does not feel supported, it would be desirable to merge the municipalities in our area, we look at the table the mayors, you will feel a their commitment to resolve the situation Enel / Region.
issues that require new and incisive answers. In an area like ours, where every job is important, that is lost each year in talks inconclusive results in serious repercussions on employment and socio-economic fabric of the area. ComunitAttiva Calls immediately convened the table provided by the Protocol signed between the parties to clarify and define deadlines for closing the agreement. The Region must give clear answers and quickly. Enel should be placed in a position to unlock investment Enel. The institutions must support the industrial action, renegotiation, together with the unions, the turn-over with the company and the minimum level of employment. At the same venue should be discussed a simplified route for the geothermal contracts to local firms, along the lines of the commitments made by Enel in Civitavecchia.
We can not wait passively, the community, trade unions and local administrators should be united and determined to defend the territory and geothermal. ComunitAttiva is ready to lead this change.
