In the Whirlpool dispute, "we are convinced, and we all must support, that Naples must not be closed; Naples must continue to exist, because if Naples were to close, it would mean starting a process of closure that would affect all Whirlpool plants in Italy." This was reiterated by Rocco Palombella, general secretary of the Uilm, who is in Florence today for the national metalworkers' strike. "We must nip this decline in the bud," Palombella added, admitting that "Whirlpool is the dispute that worries us the most: in 2014, we implemented a major reorganization plan, we decided that there was a possibility of continuing to produce appliances in Italy, we sacrificed the two sites in Teverola and Carinaro precisely to allow Naples and all the other sites in Italy to survive. Unfortunately, after four years, we find ourselves back at square one."
