The Belpaese is becoming the ideal place to spend your holidays. Italy is now a nightmare reality for a worker, but something could change in 2026.
For those who do not have their backs covered and have not inherited property, the situation is tragic in our country. There is an air of crisis without historical precedent and who is to blame? The policies of recent years have certainly favored poor management of companies which, submerged by an unmanageable tax burden, have migrated abroad or are ended up bankrupt.
There is a great desire to work, regardless of what people say, but under the right conditions. Nowadays a long-term contract takes the form of a six-month project and then we see how things evolve. For a boy born in the 90s, without family support, it has become impossible to start a family. This also explains the decreasing number of births in our latitudes. How can you think about expanding a family unit without guarantees? How can you manage a hemorrhage that involves even the largest Italian companies?
Once upon a time, working in the automotive sector meant having a clear future. In Italy there was a migration from south to north and that was it. No linguistic trauma or insurmountable distances. Today, for those who work at FIAT, an escape into reality like Serbia or Poland is on the horizon. The Stellantis Group, born from merger between FCA and PSA, has plunged into an unprecedented crisis. Tavares resigned and a new CEO, Antonio Filosa, was appointed, who has not been able to change a critical situation for now. In 2026 the music will change.
News for Stellantis workers
The Italian-French giant, for the first time in over 20 years, has announced that the Mirafiori factory will celebrate the end of layoffs. In fact, from 31 December they will not be renewed solidarity contracts of 1,900 workers who will then return to work ensuring that the factory operates at full capacity.
Finally positive news after difficult years. Furthermore, following the new plan, new hires will start from February. There will be 434 young people who will be hired to help current employees in the production of Fiat 500 hybrid and 500e. The positive debut of the new 500 hybrid will bring production back above 100 thousand units per year.
“To guarantee continuity of work in the coming years and the stabilization of new hires, it is necessary that another model be assigned to be produced in Turin and this is why we will put in place all necessary initiatives to reach this goal, which is also useful for restarting the automotive industry in our territory”the unions say.
