Birra del Borgo brewery closure dispute

Overview

Italian lawmakers are seeking urgent intervention to prevent the closure of the Birra del Borgo brewery in Borgorose, Rieti. The potential shutdown follows a collective dismissal procedure initiated by Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Nicola Ottaviani, secretary of the Chamber's Budget Committee, has requested meetings with the Ministry of Economic Development to discuss the fate of 21 workers. Ottaviani noted that new investors have expressed interest in acquiring the plant to preserve jobs and restore the brand’s “artisanal identity”.

Additionally, Walter Rizzetto, president of the Chamber's Labor Commission, has filed an inquiry regarding the site’s industrial prospects, citing concerns over declining production volumes and commercial channels. Rizzetto has called on the Minister of Labor to facilitate discussions between the company and trade unions to evaluate employment safeguards.
