Italy's Court of Appeal in Milan has confirmed that the hot area of the former Ilva steel plant in Taranto must shut down by the end of October due to pollution and health risks. The government has announced that it will meet with unions on Tuesday to discuss the implications of the shutdown, which is expected to affect nearly 10,000 direct employees and many more indirect workers.
The shutdown will also lead to an increase in temporary layoffs, with 2,500 collective layoffs already announced by 28 associated companies. The plant's cold area, which is not subject to judicial restrictions, can continue to operate if it receives external supplies of steel slabs and electricity.
