TO Pomigliano d’Arco a protest started just before the weekend of May 28-29, after a sickness found for one of the model assembly line employees Fiat Panda. The slowdown in production at the Stellantis plant lasted almost the entire central shift, with many workers refusing to work due to the fact that the building was too hot.
“High temperatures despite the presence of air conditioners, but turned on – it seems – with a delay after two days that the activities had stopped due to lack of parts of the cars. The straw that blew up the protest was the illness of one of the workers in the assembly department of the Panda. The blue overalls then crossed their arms, then supported by the decision of the CGIL metalworking union to call the strike until the end of the shift. Among the reasons that prompted the union to proclaim the strike, also the increase in the number of cars in production always on the Panda assembly line. Many workers in the assembly and logistics department, after stopping, were stationed outside the departments until the end of the shift, that is at 10pm. of the employees of the assembly department“, Reports the Corriere del Mezzogiorno.
Sebastiano d’Onofrio, Fiom trade unionist, explained: “Added to this are the precarious hygienic-sanitary conditions found in the bathrooms of the establishment“. Car factories in Italy is an important issue for Stellantis, given that in the past the CEO Carlos Tavares he explained that producing the vehicles here often turns out to be too expensive.
The CEO of the group that controls the Italian brands Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati had said that the production costs at the sites in Italy they are double those at the plants in France and Spain. He had not even been tender with the American factories, where, according to him, there would be too many phenomena of absenteeism.
