The establishment of Cassino is it going in fits and starts? Stellantis has the solution for its employees: work away. Not only to Mirafiori or in Abruzzo, as has already happened in the past. This time the proposal is new and leads straight abroad: Sochauxnorth east of Franceon the border with Swiss where there is a production line of Peugeot. Maybe this was the “new climate” what the minister meant Adolfo Urso when he joyfully greeted the company’s meager promises of new models. A good way to avoid the redundancy fundof course, but also the costs for food And accommodation to cover with 130 euros per day. This is the offer that at least a dozen workers – employed in the assembly and at body shops for France, department presses And plastic for Turin and Val di Sangro – of the Lazio plant were seen done by the company management. None at the moment, according to what we learn Ilfattoquotidiano.ithe would have accepted.
There proposal made i jump out of my chair labor unions because it demonstrates, once again, how the Franco-Italian group produces slowly in Italy while in other sites there is even a need for support and reinforcement. “While the CEO Tavares earns a thousand times as much as the workers of Stellantis, in order to get out of blackmail of the redundancy fund are forced to go to work abroad. We believe that a government worthy of the name, a Prime Minister who sits at the G7 for a reason, namely because i metalworkers make the industry of this country great, he should summon the CEO and put an end to this condition lack of dignityof disrespect for the country and the workers”, thundered the general secretary of Fiom CGIL, Michele De Palma.
The offer to Cassino workers arrived in a black moment for the factory. After the recent ones strikes And protests for the request to raise the work rhythms on the single shift so as to increase productivity, the plant is now heading for a few weeks of complete shutdown due to a lack of orders. In Cassino only one is active Assembly line and you work on a single shift from 6am to 2pm with the production collapsed (-40%) compared to the same period of 2023. And to think that already last year in the province of Frosinone only 48,800 unitsabout a third of the 153,263 cars in 2017.
Maseratis are produced in Cassino GrecaleAlfa Romeo Giulia, Stelvio and work has been underway for months to replace the lines based on the Giorgio platform with those based on the most modern Stla Largefrom which the new ones will be born in Ciociaria premium models of the car manufacturer. Here they should be assembled electric versions of Stelvio and Giulia, respectively from 2025 and 2026. The Cassino factory, among other things, is one of those most affected by the plan incentivized redundancies presented to the unions at the end of March: the expected exits are 560in addition to the cut of approx 300 travellers who support the site Pomigliano d’Arco.
The CEO’s promises Carlos TavaresAt the moment, they have only convinced the minister Adolfo Urso. While the skepticism of the unions remains strong. Cassino, for example, will stop completely from June 25th to July 5th. Gaetano D’Alvinoterritorial secretary of Uilmhe defined one “mockery” the company’s move: on the one hand the request to increase the pace of production 50 more cars per day, then the catch and now the travel proposal to be able to get a full salary. A “mobility” which perhaps represents that global model which CEO Tavares highlighted several times during Investor Day: if you want to work, go where I say.
