Rome, Feb 23: Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni on Thursday voiced support for his Industry Minister Carlo Calenda's "robust" challenge to Whirlpool unit Embraco's plan to shift production to Slovakia with the loss of some 500 jobs in Italy.
Meanwhile, representatives from Italy's UILM and FIOM unions on Thursday abandoned talks with Whirlpool unit Embraco in the northwest city of Turin after the company refused to reinstate nearly 500 sacked workers at its plant.
"Something isn't working and Calenda is doing just the right thing by fighting this case in such a robust way," Gentiloni said on Italian TV talk show Porta Porta.
