The framework agreement has been signed by Stellantis and the trade unions which defines the methods of identification and economic treatments for workers interested in the termination of the employment relationship.
The agreement concerns employees who are close to meeting the requirements for retirement or who intend to undertake new professional paths.
The objective of the agreement is to "define the reference framework for the agreements that will be made in the coming weeks in the various company entities aimed at adapting employment levels to changes in company processes by proposing shared solutions to workers".
Stellantis reiterates "the centrality of Italy within its global activities" and cites the investments of several billion euros recently made in Italian activities for new products and production sites, including the Termoli Gigafactory and the Stla Medium and Stla platforms Large in Melfi and Cassino respectively.
In Turin, in particular, with approximately 240 million in investments excluding those for manufacturing, the Battery Technology Center, the plant for the production of the electrified eDCT gearbox, the grEEn Campus and the SustainERA Circular Economy Hub as part of the Mirafiori plan Automotive Park 2030.
Fiom did not sign the agreement with Stellantis for incentivized exits.
This was stated by Samuele Lodi, national secretary and head of the mobility sector, and Maurizio Oreggia, national automotive coordinator for Fiom-Cgil.
"The emptying of the Stellantis factories continues, - they comment - a bad sign if we consider that these exits are not compensated by the hiring of young people, who would provide an important prospect for the future".
Stellantis, parent company of Chrysler, is laying off about 400 employees in the United States, mostly in its software and engineering divisions.
