Versalis workers call 4-day strike, cut ethylene flows in cracker protest

摘要

Rome— Versalis workers have called a four-day strike through Friday and are set to cut flows on ethylene pipelines leading to the Northern Italian towns of Mantova, Ferrara and Ravenna to 29 mt/hour, down from their full potential of 1800 mt/hour, a trade union source told Platts Wednesday. The 460 workers are concerned Versalis-owner Eni may suspend an announced Eur200 million ($270.6 million) investment plan at Porto Marghera cracker and aromatics unit, the union source said.
