How many problems does the CEO of a multinational with production plants on different continents have to deal with? There are many questions to be resolved for the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, as part of the organization of work after the merger between PSA and the Italian-American companies of FCA. The manager discovered the differences, even profound ones, in the industrial approach between the different souls immersed in the large automotive group.
Tavares recently explained, Carscoops reported, that absenteeism in US factories exceeds the rates recorded in the other plants of the group located in the rest of the world. He would like to improve things, even considering that other groups could also have the same problem: “We do not have a competitive penalty, but we are still discussing with the unions on how to improve. There is a significant difference between the United States and the rest of the world when looking at job performance indicators“.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union obviously did not like this externalization. Vice President Cindy Estrada explained that “it is sad to have to defend the need for free time“For American workers. Discussions on the issue will continue, and Stellantis will have leverage in terms of profit sharing compensation that will exceed the last received by the workers of General Motors and Ford.
