Rurexpol has stopped working: On January 31, pipe production was suspended at the Rurexpol factory in Częstochowa. There is only the so -called finishing room. The crew of 260 people is to be released by the end of February. The decision on this matter was made last fall. Employees still hope that production will be resumed, and the factory remains in full readiness to do it within a few days.
The risen smelter is the only chance: Rurexpol employees see a chance to save the factory in the neighboring Huta Częstochowa, which, after a year break, resumed their work at the beginning of February. In a letter to the prime minister, trade unionists call for “urgent action to behave specialized Rurexpol staff”. As they argue The plant is organized organizationally and technologically from Huta Częstochowa, which is to be included in the list of strategic companies. The regulation of the Ministry of State Assets is to be urgently accused of the government.
That's how they want to save the company: Owner Rurexpol decided to roll up the business because of “the expected loss of the branch's ability to compete on the market” and because of the “deteriorating situation in the European steel industry”. However, trade unionists believe that cooperation with Huta Częstochowa could deal with these problems. Until now, the batch for the production of pipes has been supplied from distant directions. The production of the charge in the neighboring steelworks could reduce the costs and increase the competitiveness of the plant.
Huta Częstochowa employed from Rurexpol? If saving Rurexpol is impossible, then employment in the Częstochowa steelworks may also be a chance for employees. Trade unionists believe that An adjacent plant may need up to 400 additional employees. Specialists from Rurexpol, on the other hand, could take up this specific work from the march.
Judgment Day: On February 17, the future of both plants will be decided. It will be carried out that day A tender for the sale of Huta Częstochowa estate, in which Rurexpol employees make their fate dependent. The estate of the steelworks is valued at PLN 227 million, the lender, Węglokoks, has the right of pre -emption.
