What is happening
The procedure had been launched as part of a company reorganization, prompting concern about jobs and the future of Ericsson’s technology and research operations in Genoa. Palazzo Chigi said Meloni personally spoke with Missori, after which the company decided to withdraw the procedure. During a meeting with the government at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the company confirmed the decision. Minister Adolfo Urso said Ericsson would activate consensual procedures involving incentivized and voluntary departures.
Why is it on the Radar?
The withdrawal ends the collective dismissal procedure involving the 131 workers and opens a new phase of discussions on Ericsson’s industrial and employment prospects in Italy, according to government sources. The government said it would continue monitoring the situation, with a focus on qualified employment and the country’s technological capabilities.
