There will be the 400 workers called into the Saint Maria plant owned by Antonio Merloni, from this Monday and will be employed in order to produce 23 thousand washing machines.
For many employees, unemployment compensation from months worked without pay and to “the lean” ones worked with reduced wages and hardly received unemployment compensation have been hard.

After approximately a month of basic operation only, in the Fabrianesi plants, it will be reopened for approximately two weeks, but there is no certainty over the future of the plant.
