Stellantis and Unions Agree to Extend Reduced Working Hours for Mirafiori Plant Workers in Italy

Stellantis and unions have agreed to extend reduced working hours for Mirafiori plant workers in Italy. The company is one of the world's leading car manufacturers, with brands such as Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, and Fiat. The agreement will impact workers at the Mirafiori plant, which is located in Italy. The exact terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.

Stellantis, one of the world's leading car manufacturers, has agreed with unions to extend a reduced working hours scheme for workers at its historic Mirafiori plant in northern Italy. The agreement, which mirrors similar arrangements for other Italian factories, will trim labor costs during a period of soft demand for cars produced in Italy. The latest agreement for Mirafiori covers the period from September 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026 [1][2][3].

The Mirafiori plant, located in Turin, is the birthplace of Stellantis' Italian brand Fiat. Once one of Europe's largest car factories, it has been in decline for some time. The company is betting on the hybrid version of the Fiat 500 city car to revive the site, with production expected to start in November 2025. Gianni Mannori of the Fiom-CGIL trade union has called on the company to "quickly assign another model" to Mirafiori to sustain its activity [1][2][3].

Stellantis, formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat-Chrysler and Peugeot-parent PSA, saw its Italian car production slide to the lowest level in almost 70 years in 2024. The latest agreement aims to help the company navigate through the current economic challenges [1][2][3].
