(Finance) – “To regain Italy’s trust, Stellantis it must move from declarations of principle to concrete facts. We ask for the answers starting from December 17th at the ministerial table, on the missions of each plant and on the countless related companies that risk imminent closure – they declared Rocco PalombellaUilm general secretary, e Gianluca CoolUilm national secretary responsible for the automotive sector, at the end of the meeting held in Turin with the European manager of Stellantis, Jean-Philippe Learned -. Today, however, we heard conciliatory words from Stellantis, but still no new and significant projects. Indeed, 2025 will be a terrible year with the same production volumes as 2024 and perhaps only in 2026 will we begin to see a reversal of the trend.”
“The change of pace of Stellantis must be determined with concrete news on investments and new productions”, declared the leader of the Fim, Ferdinand Ulian. Uliano expressed the concerns and expectations of the union in view of the meeting on 17 December with the European manager of Stellantis. “His statements focus on the industrial future of Stellantis in Italy, denouncing a situation of production and employment crisis that requires concrete and urgent interventions”, he added, underlining that Stellantis’ current plan is insufficient to counter the collapse of production volumes, which risks leading the company to not exceed 500,000 units per year in Italy.
“The meeting at Mirafiori it was the opportunity to meet Stellantis’ European manager, Jean-Philippe Learned. We asked for the opening of a real direct comparisontight and programmed to truly guarantee the company’s assertion of centrality in Italy through investments in new models and a real generational change. It is necessary to guarantee employment continuity to deal with emergencies for workers who are not currently insured with social safety nets”, they declared Michele De Palmageneral secretary of FiomAnd Samuele Lodinational secretary responsible for the mobility sector.
“We have concrete expectations for the table on 17 December. Important proposals are expected”, declared the national secretary of the UGL metalworkers, Anthony Hope. “By the top management of Stellantis – explained the trade unionist – investments and new models have been announced in Italy which will be brought to the table between government And unions of December 17th at the Mimit. A will be presented industrial plan for each individual factory, new products will be announced and it will be reiterated that Italy is central to the Stellantis project. The group was keen to clarify that there has never been a desire on the part of Stellantis to make agreements only with the Government and without unions”.
“In today’s meeting Stellantis tried to restore the climate of trust with the trade unions. An intention that we appreciated by asking that this climate of trust be filled by timely checks, at least quarterly, directly between the company and the union, on the evolution of the market and the necessary adjustments to the business plan,” he said Roberto Di Maulogeneral secretary Fismic Confsal.
