The report said workers making engines will be temporarily placed under the scheme by March 20 – Fiat Auto has already placed part of its staff at other company plants under the so-called CIG scheme.
ANSA said the temporary layoff scheme allows workers to remain employees of the company but with a reduced salary paid by the Italian government’s special layoff benefits fund. Employees are put on temporary layoff for up to 24 months with a possibile extension up to 48 months. The scheme is used during periods of low output or sharp fall-off in orders.
Trade unions are insisting that Italy’s industry minister Antonio Marzano signs the €434 million ($US583.6 milllion) programme agreement for the Termoli plant, the report added.
