“We share the reasons for this united strike of workers and trade unions. There is a lot of concern about the future of a sector strategic like the automotive industry”, declared Schlein. “We ask for clear and concrete commitments, we ask them from the government and we ask them from companies”, he added. “We are there and we will be there. We filed a joint motion with the other oppositions and together we asked that it also be heard Elkann. Stellantis has historic responsibilities towards this country and must do its part to the full”. Conte reiterated “the M5S’s commitment to supporting the workers’ battle on Stellantis”.
Landini he stated that the auto sector “is a strategic sector, but it is at risk. The prospects – from production levels to employment – are not clear, there is no industrial plan that defines a future”. For this reason he asked the government to convene the social partners, Stellantis and the component companies Palazzo Chigi. We ask Stellantis to respect the commitment it has made with the union and the government to relaunch the automotive line in our country, concentrating resources, investments, new models, increasing production capacity, safeguarding all jobs” he added, Bar.
Bombardiere also asked the government to summon Tavares and the unions to Palazzo Chigi and to “intervene to lower the costs of theenergy that are too high.”
