All-out strike, sit-ins and a symbolic Christmas tree: the Trasnova workers' fight for their future. The labor dispute involving the 350 Trasnova employees is becoming increasingly dramatic.
The contract with the company will expire on December 31st, and failure to renew the contract risks leaving hundreds of people without work, right on the eve of the Christmas holidays. For days, workers have been guarding the main entrances to the plant, blocking all access and reiterating their request for clear and concrete answers.
This morning, a symbolic gesture caught the attention of the media and public opinion: in front of the main entrance, reserved for car transporters, a Christmas tree different from the usual was set up. Not bright decorations, but pieces of paper on which the workers wrote their names, accompanied by the word "fired". A strong image, which transforms a symbol of joy and celebration into a bitter reminder of the crisis that threatens hundreds of families.
The atmosphere at the pickets is tense but determined: the strike will continue until concrete answers arrive. At the moment, unofficial sources report that the government is moving to start a discussion table with Stellantis, a company on which a large part of the related industries involved depends. The hope is that the dismissal procedure can be frozen and a solution found that will safeguard jobs.
The images of the Christmas tree, now a symbol of the protest, are making the rounds of the national media. The struggle of the Trasnova workers thus becomes a symbol of the battle for the right to work and against the uncertainty that weighs on the future of the families involved.
While the spotlight remains on this dispute, the workers' request is clear: do not let these holidays turn into a Christmas of despair.
