Stellantis, automotive workers to strike on October 18

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 24 - Workers with Italian-French carmaker Stellantis and the entire automotive sector will strike on Friday, October 18, labour unions Fim, Fiom and Uilm said Tuesday.
    The unions will organize a national demonstration in Rome.
    According to data provided by the metalworkers' unions, in 2023 Stellantis produced in Italy a total of 751,000 vehicles, including 521,000 cars and 230,000 commercial vehicles.
    Over the past 17 years - between 2007 and 2024 - the production in Italy of Fiat cars (subsequently FCA and Stellantis) was slashed by nearly 70% from 911,000 to the 300,000 estimated this year, if the production trend will continue.
    Out of the 505,000 cars sold in Italy, less than half were produced in the country (225,000), the unions said. (ANSA).
