意大利前Ilva钢铁公司Acciaierie d’Italia提出，将其意大利塔兰托工厂及相关场所的停工人数几乎翻倍，达到最多8,622人，此举是在法院因环境问题下令关闭之后提出的。
Acciaierie d’Italia, the former Ilva steelmaker, proposed almost doubling the number of furloughed workers at its Taranto plant and related sites across Italy to as many as 8,622, following a court-ordered shutdown over environmental issues.
根据彭博社看到的一份公司文件，该计划将覆盖公司9,626名员工的90%，并将持续至2月28日。该方案将使停工人数从目前的4,450人增加，但需先与工会和劳动部进行协商。
The plan would cover 90% of the company’s 9,626 employees and last through Feb. 28, according to a company document seen by Bloomberg. The move, which would increase the number of furloughed workers from the current 4,450, is subject to consultations with unions and the Labor Ministry.
约1,004名员工将留在现场，以保护资产、维持工厂安全、确保环境合规以及履行行政职能。
About 1,004 staff would remain on site to safeguard assets and maintain plant safety, environmental compliance and for administrative functions.
米兰上诉法院于10月5日驳回了第二次要求暂停执行的申请，该申请旨在阻止塔兰托热作业区的生产被叫停——塔兰托曾是欧洲最大的钢铁厂。热作业区的生产于10月9日暂停，其中一座高炉仍处于待机状态，等待最高法院的裁决。若未在此月月底前获得公司有利的法院裁决，该设施将面临关闭。
A Milan appeals court on Oct. 5 rejected a second request to suspend an order that hot-production operations at Taranto, once Europe’s largest steelworks, be suspended. Production in the hot area was suspended on Oct. 9, with one blast furnace kept on standby pending a Supreme Court decision. It would face shutdown by the end of this month in the absence of a court ruling in the company’s favor.
政府任命的负责寻找买家并在此期间监管公司的行政官员表示，此次关闭将扰乱其他依赖塔兰托供应的场所的下游加工。
The government-appointed administrators overseeing the company while they look for a buyer have said the shutdown would disrupt downstream processing at other sites supplied from Taranto.
受影响的加工场所包括意大利北部的热那亚和诺维利古雷。这些场所将塔兰托生产的钢材加工成冷轧和涂层钢板等成品平板产品，用于家电、汽车和建筑行业。若没有塔兰托的稳定供应，其生产线将无法维持正常运行水平。
The affected processing sites include Genoa and Novi Ligure in northern Italy. They turn steel produced at Taranto into finished flat products such as cold-rolled and coated sheet used in appliances, and in the automotive and construction sectors. Without a steady supply from Taranto, their lines can’t run at normal levels.
根据该文件，塔兰托7,875名工人中有多达6,964人将被纳入扩大的停工范围，热那亚917名工人中有870人，诺维利古雷542名工人中有515人也将受影响。其余受影响的工人分布在其他场所。
As many as 6,964 of Taranto’s 7,875 workers would be covered by the expanded furlough, along with 870 of 917 in Genoa and 515 of 542 in Novi Ligure, the document showed. The rest of the affected workers are spread across other sites.
Acciaierie d’Italia 的一位代表拒绝置评。在文件中，该公司表示，在寻找买家的过程中，它需要削减成本，并将人员配置与可用产能保持一致。
A representative for Acciaierie d’Italia declined to comment. In the document, the company said it needs to cut costs and align staffing with available capacity during the search for a buyer.
位于意大利较贫困的南部的塔兰托工厂一直是保护就业与因污染引发的公共健康担忧之间长期冲突的焦点。
The Taranto plant, in Italy’s poorer south, has been at the heart of a long-running clash between efforts to preserve jobs and concerns over public health because of pollution.
检察官于2012年查封了该场地的部分区域，此后该公司经历了政府指定的行政管理、阿塞洛尔米塔尔公司（ArcelorMittal SA）的私人所有权，以及重新回到国家主导的控制。
Prosecutors seized parts of the site in 2012, and the company has since cycled through government-appointed administration, private ownership under ArcelorMittal SA and a return to state-led control.
该公司于2024年在寻找买家的过程中进入所谓的特别行政管理。
It entered so-called extraordinary administration, while seeking a buyer, in 2024.
意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼周五表示，政府将“尽我们所能”来应对这场危机。国家通过直接资助和通过国有公司Invitalia SpA，已向该公司投资了50亿欧元（56亿美元）。她在布鲁塞尔对记者说：“我们不是关闭Ilva的人。”
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Friday the government would “do everything we can” to address the crisis. The state has invested €5 billion ($5.6 billion) in the company by direct funding and through state-owned Invitalia SpA. “We are not the ones who closed Ilva,” she told reporters in Brussels.
