The company does not confirm the redundancy rumors, but there is alarm among the unions over possible cuts after the collapse in sales of drugs produced by the pharmaceutical group
THE EAGLE. Sales of Menarini branded medicines are collapsing and a thousand workers are at risk work place. Apprehension also in L'Aquila, where the national pharmaceutical leader has one of its plants (the others are in Florence, Pisa and Milan). The pharmaceutical company's crisis would be due to the entry into force, last August, of the law which obliges doctors to make prescriptions indicating only the active principle. "The company does not confirm the rumors about possible redundancies and specifies that every decision will be discussed first with the unions", specifies a note from the pharmaceutical group, but the unions are already alarmed.
