It looks like a complicated end of the year for Carlo Tavares and Stellantis who will have to deal with various thorny situations to be solved, especially in Europe where the unions are on a war footing and ask for explanations from the group born from the merger between FCA and PSA after several production plants have seen their work capacity reduced following the shortage of semiconductors (an excuse for the majority of European trade unions). From Spain to Italy, from France to Germany, the brand sites of the Stellantis constellation are facing closures and staff reductions, with the use of layoffs and its various variations depending on the state.
The situation in Germany for example it is emblematic, with the historic establishment of Eisenach which will stop production until the end of the year, in the hope of being able to restart in 2022. The Opel Grandland X SUV and its plug-in hybrid version were produced here. Without a chip, the 1,300 employees will go to Kurzarbeit, the German version of the CIG waiting to understand what will happen. Meanwhile, the model of the Lightning brand will continue to be assembled in Sochaux in France, with the specter of a relocation in that factory that is making its way among the workers. With Eisenach and Ruesselsheim in the process of coming under the direct control of the group, the fate of both factories appears to be different from that of Opel. Meanwhile, in France, the safeguard measures do not convince the unions who see the chip crisis as a pretext to reorganize and decentralize production, with Stellantis allegedly accused of wanting to exclude the country from its development plans.
Protests are also mounting in Spain, particularly in Figuerelas, near Zaragoza. Here the employees were on voluntary mobility to other production sites of the group, in need of manpower at this time. Also in this case the action of the group led by Tavares would be preparatory to the reduction of workers and the elimination of a work shift, once again resorting to layoffs. In the end Italy: the meetings with the trade unions and the government at the MISE are aimed at presenting the reorganization strategies of the Turin hub, with Mirafiori and Grugliasco at the center of a small revolution. In the meantime, however, the first stops in production are recorded in Atessa, with Cassino at an all-time low. Also in this case, relocation is the greatest fear and despite the displacement of part of the Fiat 500’s output from Poland to Mirafiori, the possibility that production will move to Tychy or to other offices of the group scares the unions and workers.
