Description
The textile group Franzoni Filati announced a restructuring plan including the closure of the Albano plant (88 workers) and 80 further job cuts at Esine and Trani. The plan has been motivated by the increasing competition coming from Far East producers and the need to concentrate on high value-added products. An agreement has been reached by the company management and the unions to use the special wages guarantee fund for one year.
