Stellantis, agreements for one thousand voluntary departures from Termoli to Melfi

After Pomigliano, Pratola Serra and Melfi, it is also Termoli's turn to launch a voluntary redundancy plan for Stellantis employees. In the space of a few weeks, a thousand voluntary redundancies have been made among the 500 redundancies announced in Melfi, the 300 in Pomiglianoli and another 200 at the site historically dedicated to engine production. The union agreement, signed by Fim, Uilm, Fismic, Ugl and Quadri, was not signed by Fiom, which speaks of 'divestments of the Group in Italy'.

'The voluntary incentive exits from the Stellantis plants in Italy do not stop,' stressed Samuele Lodi, head of the Auto sector in the Fiom-Cgil national secretariat. 'All this,' he added, 'is happening when the group's CEO has not yet been chosen and we are therefore still in the absence of an industrial plan for the relaunch of the Italian plants.

Fiom is calling for the opening of a discussion with Stellantis at Palazzo Chigi, also involving Group President John Elkann, 'in order to reach an agreement that guarantees employment and the future of the automotive industry in our country,' says Lodi.

Vehicle production continues to decline at all Stellantis plants in Italy, as shown by the report edited by Fim Cisl, with a 35% drop in the first quarter of the year compared to a 2024 that already recorded very low volumes, taking us back to the 1950s. Cars alone fell by over 40%, at the Melfi site the contraction was 64.6%.

The Lucania factory, where the Stla Medium platform has been installed, is in full industrial transition in view of the launch of new models. It is the plant that in terms of volumes, together with Pomigliano, loses the most cars, with 16,210 units less than in the first quarter of 2024, underlines Fim.
