In a referendum held on the 14 January 2011 workers at Fiat's historic Mirafiori factory have backed a landmark deal that will save the loss-making plant and could transform industrial relations in Italy. Fiat won support from a thin majority of workers at this key factory for a contract that will limit strikes and absenteeism in exchange for €1bn investment in Italy. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne had threatened to move production abroad from the Mirafiori plant, which has been an integral part of Fiat for over 70 years, if the workers rejected the changes. |
