Petition Summary

The petitioner encloses an open letter by the administrative councils of LARKO’s labour unions regarding a number of matters, including the consequences of a large EU fine and the need to immediately stop the planned redundancy of 300 workers over the age of 55. The petitioner also emphasises the high unemployment rate and the surge on the commodity markets in the price of nickel and cobalt, which are of huge strategic importance for the EU, particularly in the wake of the recent conflict in Ukraine. Finally, he asks that all possible options be examined to deal with the debt accumulated by the company.
