Two workers injured in 21 days, Fiom accuses Stellantis: "Organizational failure, stop everything."

Pomigliano – Not even three weeks have passed since Stellantis took over direct and independent management of the yard activities previously entrusted to Trasnova workers, and the toll is already very heavy: two serious injuries, one with a prognosis of more than thirty days.

The alarm was raised by Mauro Cristiani, general secretary of Fiom Napoli, and Mario Di Costanzo, automotive industry manager for the same category, in a harsh statement calling for immediate intervention by the supervisory bodies.

«Organizational and technical deficiencies»

"Whereas the company envisioned a smooth transition to activities mistakenly considered secondary or with low professional impact," the two union representatives write, "the reality has dramatically demonstrated the opposite." According to Fiom, the first three weeks of total management autonomy at the yard revealed "serious company deficiencies, both organizationally and technically." If the multinational's goal was to reduce costs and streamline work, this first phase, Cristiani and Di Costanzo argue, "reveals an almost total failure."

"The rush to cut has reduced standards to zero."

For the metalworkers' union, the failure to implement this alleged efficiency improvement "cannot and must not be paid for by the workers." The two serious accidents in such a short time are "a real wake-up call that cannot go unheeded." The accusation is clear: "The rush to cut costs has destroyed the company's safety standards."

The request: "Stop the procedures, carry out checks immediately."

Fiom Napoli is strongly calling for immediate intervention by the relevant authorities, because "it is essential to rigorously monitor and evaluate compliance with all the limits and parameters set forth in the Consolidated Law on Workplace Safety 81/2008." Current procedures, they warn, "must be stopped and renegotiated before these serious accidents become even more irreparable."

The conclusion: health is non-negotiable

The final message is a wall: "Health and safety in the workplace are non-negotiable rights. Stellantis must stop and immediately rethink the organization of these activities." Words that sound like an ultimatum, while tensions rise within the company's workplaces.
