Temporary employment agencies that supply the Fiat Chrysler Automobile (FCA) plant at Melfi together with the unions have come to an agreement over continuing employing temporary staff. It includes a guarantee that when their contracts come to term temporary staff will form part of a single dedicated employment pool and will have the opportunity to undertake training should they not be immediately re-employed. Unions have indicated that they wish to replicate this agreement in other “areas where there are large concentrations of insecure employment” so as to consolidate the country’s employment landscape.
At the request of the unions to ensure job security for the 500 or so temporary workers with the Consorzio Auto Componentistica del Mezzogiorno (ACM) (consortium of ACM employers) that supplies the FCA Melfi plant with components, the temporary employment agencies concerned (Adecco, Etjca, GI Group, Manpower, Ranstad, and Synergie) together with the relevant unions (Felsa-Cisl, Nidil-CGIL, and Uiltemp-Uil) signed an agreement on the “right to continuous employment.”
