Santa Croce tannery to close

11/11/2013
Twenty-one people who worked in the Niger tannery in Santa Croce sull’Arno have had formal confirmation that the tannery will close.

Workers have told local media that they worked several months without being paid and that July was the last month for which they received their full salaries. At the start of November, the tannery’s owners decided that they would close the business in the face of severe financial problems.
