Stellantis, 400 hires at Mirafiori, unions call for more on Italy Plan

It is necessary to strengthen Mirafiori's production mission, underlines Fim secretary Ferdinando Uliano, who adds: 'Some critical issues remain open in the other plants, which must be urgently addressed in the new Italy Plan. By the end of the year, the 310,000 vehicles will not be reached, underlines Fim, 'with important repercussions on employment and social shock absorbers. It is therefore essential not only to accelerate the commitments already made at ministerial level, but above all to strategically strengthen the new Italy Plan, with more investments and new production models.

For Fiom, the situation of Stellantis in Italy is critical and 'gives us a picture that needs a real turnaround to reverse the direction of recent years, which today there has not been. The picture inherited by the current CEO tells us that this year production will be even worse than in 2024 and employment is constantly being reduced through voluntary redundancies with incentives,' stresses Fiom secretary Michele De Palma. According to Fiom, the Italy Plan presented to the government and the unions on 17 December last, 'must provide for the early start-up of the announced models and implementation with further new mass market models.

During the meeting in Turin they went into the merits of the individual plants, with, for example, the denial of the rumours about a possible closure of the Cassino plant and the commitment to transform all the planned cars into multienergy. For Rocco Palombella, secretary general of Uilm, it is 'only the beginning of a very difficult path, which depends partly on Stellantis, but also partly on the correction of those European policies that are destroying the industry without unfortunately saving the environment. We must restore confidence to the workers through the resumption of production in all the factories.
