Under the tree the drama of thirty families. No salary and not even the thirteenth for the 30 workers of Tossilo Spa , employed in the management of the waste platform of Tossilo, in Macomer . They hoped until the end, but today only silence from the Region.

Thirty families who will spend Christmas penniless , for a situation for which the Region is being accused. It was not enough to assure workers that salaries will probably arrive next week or in early January. «We have always been told this and then, punctually, promises are not kept - says Mirko Santoro - we are at the mercy of the waves. They don't pay us and we have no prospects for the future».

The situation is serious, because if the plants (the composting one and then the new waste-to-energy plant), which have been ready for a few months now, do not start up, Tossilo Spa, in charge of managing the entire waste platform, will absolutely not be able to operate. He cannot even pay his salaries, because the Region must first intervene to settle the debts. Intervention expected for months, but that does not arrive. «We were left without the thirteenth month and without salary, therefore without prospects for the future - says Patrizio Serra, one of the 30 workers of Tossilo Spa - the Region does not pay us and does not give us any guarantees. We live hand to mouth, forced to borrow money from our parents, who are lucky enough to have it. When the salaries arrive, always late, the banks take everything away from us, because we have to pay the back installments of the house loan, loans and so on».
