Why is Stellantis hiring in France and not in Italy?
Stellantis extends the redundancy fund for the Melfi plant, but hires in France and the United States. Here are facts and numbers
A two-speed course for Stellantis. If in Italy it is difficult to walk first, with the Melfi plant that has been dealing with layoffs since January, in France and in America the fifth is engaged and, even, a new workforce is hired (over 1000 new employees) .
Employment uncertainty is also increasing for the Stellantis plant in Piedimonte San Germano in Lazio.
All the details.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MELFI
Let's start from Italy. Once again, Stellantis has decided to resort to layoffs for the Melfi plant, in Basilicata . The measure will affect over 1,000 workers, out of the over 7,000 employed in the Lucanian factory, from May 31 to June 27.
In the Lucanian plant, in reality, 1,500 workers have been in cig rotation since September 2018, after the production shutdown of the Fiat Punto.
COLLECTIVE STOPS
He decided, again for the month of June, of collective stops, as Marco Lomio said, of Uilm Basilicata: "11-12 days of collective stops for the production lines of the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X, which are worth approximately 60% of the production of the plant, while the production of the Jeep Compass and of the hybrid models produced in the plant continues, as foreseen by the layoffs.
WEIGHING MARKET CRISIS AND LACK OF SEMICONDUCTORS
To weigh, the unions write in a joint note, are the current market conditions and the lack of chips: "First of all, there remains a dramatic situation of lack of working days, especially on the line of the Jeep Renegade and 500x, while for the Compass the reduction is less marked. A fact justified once again by the company by the persistence of the market crisis and above all by the lack of semi-conductors that is heavily penalizing the entire automotive sector ”, the unions write.
MORE HOLIDAYS IN AUGUST
Holidays will also be used to buffer the situation. "In this sense, at our request, the collective closure for the summer period from 9 to 29 August was defined", underline the trade unions.
"Even if there are still major critical issues for the San Nicola di Melfi plant and in anticipation of the next meeting in Turin – they add -, we register a different approach from the point of view of trade union confrontation, as desired for some time by us, and this translates into greater sharing in the dramatic choices of the economic moment we are experiencing ”.
THE CONCERNS FOR THE STELLANTIS PLANT IN LAZIO
Uncertainties about employment are also increasing in Lazio. “For the month of June, the company announced the closure of the" Stellantis di Piedimonte San Germano "plant for days 28, 29 and 30".
“The stoppage concerns the two models currently in production, after the Giulietta left the scene, namely Giulia and Stelvio Alfa Romeo. Further production stoppages are likely, in addition to those already mentioned in June, thanks also to the extension of the Covid-19 redundancy fund until 31 August ”, reported Radio Cassino Stereo .
NEW RECRUITMENTS IN FRANCE
Meanwhile, the increasingly French Stellantis, at home, takes over . The fourth car manufacturer, in recent weeks, has published 1,280 job offers on Linkedin . The group, born from the merger between PSA and FCA, is looking for over 500 new employees for the Poissy plant, a PSA-branded plant. The research focuses, in particular, on figures specialized in cybersecurity systems for connected vehicles. A new workforce is also needed in Vélizy-Villacoublay.
HOW STELLANTIS MOVES IN THE USA

For the Auburn Hills plant, FCA headquarters in the USA, where Chrysler cars are produced, 80 people are sought, mainly managers and engineers.
