Termination of agency workers’ contracts. The conflict broke out when Magneti Marelli (Fiat) announced that it wouldn’t renew almost 70 temporary contracts which came to an end on May 31 in two subsidiaries, Plastic Components and Sistemi Sospensioni, because the positions would be filled by around a hundred Fiat workers under CIG in other regions. The workers of the businesses concerned mobilized because they viewed this as an “explicit attempt” to divide permanent workers, those under CIG and precarious workers. Mobilization even spread to suppliers and even within Sata, which organized a 2-hour solidarity strike on Thursday, may 28. Therefore, production was suspended and Sata’s workers were “without a job” for six days in a row. Since the beginning of the year, almost 300 workers from Pomigliano d’Arco are posted in Sata to meet increased demand for the Grande Punto, while local unions demand that local precarious workers, who were forced out of their job (see our dispatch No. 090292), be employed.
