Luxembourg's trade union unions OGBL and LCGB are demanding an emergency meeting with the Ministers of Economy and Labor after Tosyali withdrew himself from his freedom purchase Dudelange.
"It is important that all parties involved come together immediately to identify clear, concrete and immediate solutions for employees," the unions note in a joint statement from Kallanish.
The trade unions had previously proposed the creation of sectoral redistribution units based on the "CHD" model successfully used within the Tripartite Framework of the steel and aviation industries.
"Apart from the employees, the industrial future of the country is at stake. Measures should be taken to preserve endangered production facilities, especially in cases where their viability has been proven. Luxembourg cannot afford to lose its expertise or see its industrial potential weakened by indifference," the unions add.
Tosyali could not be reached for comment.
In February, the Turkish steel group became a potential buyer of the bankrupt Dudelange. Due to the downsizing, the division employs about 140 employees. It has remained inactive for more than two years, with the exception of production testing conducted in July 2024.
