Massive Strike Halts Production at Stellantis Plant in Pomigliano d'Arco

Production halts at the Stellantis factory in Pomigliano d'Arco, due to an eight-hour strike per shift declared by Fim, Uilm, Fismic, and Uglm to protest, among other things, against "the lack of safety regulations in the factory and the failure to restore the canteen's sliding scale". According to the trade unions, 90% of the workers crossed their arms at the first shift, while according to the company, the percentage is around 70% of the blue-collar workers. Workers are protesting outside the factory with a picket, which is also attended by the provincial secretaries of the four trade unions. Fiom did not join the strike. "Massive participation in the strike called at the Stellantis of Pomigliano d'Arco, in the province of Naples. After months in which Fim, Uilm, Fismic, and Uglm have denounced numerous episodes of poor safety, the workers crossed their arms, effectively blocking the production of the Campania industrial site". This was highlighted in a note by Uilm Campania. "We need certain guarantees for the future - said the general secretary of Uilm Campania, Crescenzo Auriemma, and the territorial secretary of Uilm Campania, Giuseppe D'Alterio - we can no longer compromise on safety. The whole country is committed against the scourge of deaths at work, Stellantis management cannot pretend not to know. Today is the crossroads of a new model of union relations that guarantees all employees and the future of the Campania area"
