Labor unions Fim, Fiom, and Uilm rescheduled a 24-hour strike at the JSW steel plant in Piombino to November 5. The protest aims to coincide with a ministerial meeting regarding the future of the local steel industry. Union representatives are seeking commitments on investment timelines, job security, and the renewal of rail production.

In a separate development, JSW Steel Italy received authorization for approximately 33 million euros in non-repayable funding from Invitalia to modernize its railway rolling mill in Piombino. This public contribution, which includes 500,000 euros from the Tuscany Region, supports a total industrial investment of roughly 143.8 million euros by the Indian group. The project intends to nearly double the facility’s production capacity, though construction is pending urban planning approvals and building permits.
