Description
E.On, one of the world’s largest power and gas companies, is to cut 120 jobs (out of 240) at its power plant located at Fiume Santo (in the province of Sassari). After some meetings with the trade unions and the local authorities, the company has confirmed the outsourcing of some activities (in particular, the handling service for fuel oil and carbon) with the consequent job cuts. The trade unions reacted to the company’s decision by organising various protest actions.
The German group E.On has around 72,000 employees worldwide.
