"The workers at the ArcelorMittal factory in Liège are facing a particularly tragic situation, following the announcement that the hot-phase division is to close. We are talking here about the loss of hundreds of direct jobs, which will have an impact on the whole production sector and on the economic situation of a region that has already been hit hard by unemployment.
We can be proud of our industrial past, which has opened the door to strong growth. Today, at a time when this sector is facing severe difficulties, we must do everything we can to keep it going in the face of a business rationale that is focused exclusively on profit and which is preventing potential buyers from acquiring the operation so as to avoid competition.
If the Union does not take a stand against these practices now, there will be many more situations of this kind throughout Europe; this will result in thousands of redundancies and will make us more dependent on other countries."@en1
