Jabil workers return to the square, picket in Caserta

While tensions seem to be easing over the Transnova-Stellantis dispute in Pomigliano d'Arco, a few kilometers away in the industrial area of ​​Marcianise, the battle for the future of the 418 workers of the American multinational Jabil is becoming increasingly heated. With the March 2025 deadline – the date set by the company for the closure of the plant – ever closer, workers are ready to take to the streets to demand a concrete solution to the employment crisis.

Tomorrow, Jabil employees will organize a sit-in in front of the Prefecture of Caserta to solicit the attention of the institutions. “We do not accept the incomprehensible choice of the American multinational to abandon the territory after years of sacrifices”, declare the company union representatives (RSU) in a note. “We will not allow the future of 418 families to be destroyed by the personal ambitions of a ruling class that enriches itself at the expense of workers.”

The union will ask the prefect of Caserta to intercede with the government to convene a new ministerial table. Mauro Musella, Jabil employee and union delegate, underlines: “We want a discussion without pressure towards projects that we consider unacceptable.”

Request for a new ministerial table

The previous roundtable at the Ministry of Labor ended without results, with the workers rejecting the proposal to sell the plant to Tme Assembly Engineering Srl, a new company created by a former Jabil employee and supported by Invitalia, the government agency of the MEF. The memory of the failed experiences of colleagues transferred to other companies such as Softlab and Orefice, which did not guarantee production continuity, weighs on the choices.

The workers bitterly remember the 200 colleagues who, having moved to Softlab with financial incentives, now live in uncertainty, often on redundancy and without concrete prospects. A similar fate befell the 23 who were transferred to the Sardinian Orefice, who were fired.

The employees Jabil They ask that the government reopen the dialogue, but excluding solutions that have already been rejected. For them, it is essential to safeguard the future of the 418 families linked to the Marcianise plant, avoiding the repetition of situations that have already produced unemployment and economic insecurity.
