Stellantis and the unions Fim, Uilm, Fismic, Uglm and Aqcfr they signed a deal for 1.820 incentivized exits by the automotive group. This was communicated by the workers' representatives in a note, underlining that "the process of change and transition towards the new electric motors that the automotive sector is undergoing must be accompanied by a series of interventions capable of guaranteeing social sustainability, which avoid traumatic and heavy impacts on current employees and at the same time envisage new investments in future mobility for the Italian plants and a consequent subsequent generational turnover".
For this reason "we signed today an agreement with Stellantis to further improve the incentives already provided for in the previous agreements - the unions continue - providing for new relocation paths, in relation to the exclusively voluntary retirement advance and non-pension outgoings, in the group's offices and factories".
Today Stellantis has almost 49 employees in Italy and the possible voluntary departures envisaged are a maximum of 1.820, equal to 3,7%. For the trade unions, "it is a positive agreement, because it will allow for the adaptation of the workforce in a socially responsible way, providing for a concrete and innovative tool for active relocation, with exclusive voluntary participation, which we hope will give concrete results".
Stellantis-union agreement: how exit incentives work
In particular, in some plants and entities pre-agreements on voluntary exits had already been reached, amounting to around 752, while in others the related procedures will be launched for the remaining 1.068. The exits will take place on the basis of the voluntary criterion, or rather the non-opposition to the termination of the employment relationship, in the context of the units and tasks concerned for which there is a surplus.
- For who can reach retirement within 48 months, the incentives will be such as to guarantee for the first 24 months, including naspi treatment, 90% of the salary and for the remaining 24 months 70% of the salary plus an amount equal to the voluntary contributions to be paid.
- For workers who do not reach retirement age, the incentive will be equal to 24 months' salary and in any case not less than 55.000 euros, to which 20.000 euros must be added if the employment relationship is terminated by 30 September.
- For white-collar workers and executives who do not retire, the incentive will vary according to age: for those aged at least 50, 24 months' salary for an amount, in any case, of no less than 55.000 euros; for those aged between 45 and 49, 18 months' salary; for those aged between 40 and 44, 12 months' salary; for those under 40, 6 months' salary; in any case, 20.000 euros will be added to these monthly payments if the employment relationship is terminated by 30 September.
