Approximately 400 factory exits in our country in agreement with the unions, thus reducing Italian employees to below 7,000 units
Posted on
Marelli’s workforce in Italy decreases. The Italian company has in fact announced an agreement with the unions for the incentivized exit of 400 employees among all the production plants present in our country. At the same time, Marelli Holdings, which holds control of the Italian and Japanese company (Calzonic Kensei is also part of the group) also announced investments of 73 million euros to increase production in its 15 Italian plants.
How will Marelli’s layoffs work out?
The FIM clarified better what emerged from the agreement with the unions for the layoffs in a press release: “The reduction will focus on staff functions and will affect factories much less. The incentives will be for those who retire over the 48 months such as to ensure the first two years 90% of the salary together with the NASPI and the other two years 80% of the salary plus the equivalent of the contributions to be paid. For those who do not reach retirement, the incentive will be 12 months from 35 to 39 years, 24 months from 40 to 49, 30 months from 50 to 54, and 36 months from 55 and over; to these figures are added 20,000 euros for those leaving by 31 May up to 49 years of age and 30,000 for those aged fifty and over. In any case, to have the incentives it will be necessary to have 2 years of company seniority. Finally, a specific outplacement service will be offered.”
Social safety nets and the crisis
Despite the desire to invest again in Italy, Marelli was weighed down by the increase in the cost of raw materials and the contraction in sales mainly due to the supply crisis. The company will try to keep production as regular as possible while addressing these issues: “Except for possible occasional stops caused by the supply crisis, – continues the joint note by Fim Fiom Uilm Fismic UglM AqcfR – the use of social safety nets is concentrated in the Crevalcore plants, in particular for the aluminum department, in Bari traditional power train with a saturation of the workforce equal to 70%, in Melfi with a saturation equal to 75% and with shock absorbers expiring in October 2023, of Sulmona with a saturation of 55%, of Caivano with a saturation of 94% but with no more cash available to deal with sudden stops.”
