Months ago I wrote the story of the workers of Carlsberg Ceccano , near Frosinone ( word list). I passed the gates of the factory workers and, curious I wanted to stop and ask if I could be of help. It came out a few pieces on LEXCIVILIS in order to circulate on the Internet at least their history. Some of those workers are now among my friends on Facebook .
were less than fifty people, very composed and defended themselves with great dignity, almost general indifference, one of the few production companies of their land. Local politicians and those in the region are mainly mediated by lengthening the period of layoffs and to increase the allocation of incentives for mobility. In a meeting at the Industrial Union of October 2009 was initiated a regional plan to start a career change and to try to entrepreneurs interested in the establishment., In case of transfer should be the priority for hiring former employees Carlsberg. In December 2009, past the factory I finally saw some men seeking the dismantling of the site.
This premise to introduce a news story I read about L'Express 31 Mar. 2010, page 153 "in revenge for shots of beer" (LINK ). The article speaks of a case quite similar but set in the province of Belluno . A similar situation to that of Ceccano, saw the struggle against the will of another fifty brewers of Heineken to close a factory town,, the beer Pedavena .
The stark reality however, tells Some facts seem to have made a difference: instead of Frosinone Belluno in the Veneto region in place of Lazio, a civil society more cohesive and connected to the territory, a richer social fabric of business alternatives. So the colleagues of my Venetian friends Ceccano, wanting to stubbornly continue to make beer, which would open a blog with 30 000 signatures were collected. The message between the lines would be to not buy more beer for a multinational company that behaves so badly. Given the bad parade the Heineken would eventually surrendered, agreeing to sell to the competition: the group Castello di Udine. A nice end to those workers and a nice bunch of questions about why one has not been possible for friends of Ceccano. Perhaps it is too late.
