Description
Stellantis has finalised agreements for 402 voluntary departures at its Atessa facility in Abruzzo, affecting workers across the plant operations. The agreements cover employees who will reach retirement eligibility within 48 months, with applications accepted until October 31, 2025.
The facility, which manufactures light commercial vehicles for Fiat Professional, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, and Toyota brands, currently employs 4,800 workers, down from nearly 7,000 before the 2008 crisis. Daily production has decreased from 1,250 to approximately 850 vehicles, with 650-700 employees currently under solidarity contracts.
The departure packages vary by age: workers over 55 receive 33 months' salary plus €30,000, while those 35-39 years old get 12 months plus €20,000. For employees nearing retirement, the company provides 90% of gross salary during unemployment benefits, with additional support for those requiring extra contribution periods.
Fiom-CGIL(trade union) declined to sign the agreement, citing concerns about continued workforce reductions without industrial planning or investment commitments. The union noted that the facility has lost substantial employment over recent years, from 6,000 to 4,800 workers, while temporary staff have not been confirmed or stabilised.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
