Trasnova, a logistics company in the automotive sector, has announced the collective dismissal of 97 workers, shocking the Italian labor market. The official communication was delivered this morning, leaving little room for negotiation.
Stellantis’ decision and Trasnova’s future
Despite hopes for a contract renewal with Stellantis, the multinational decided to terminate the agreements by December 31, 2024. This forced Trasnova to declare staff redundancies. The management stated there is “no alternative solution,” emphasizing that the termination was beyond their control.
Political intervention: stop the layoffs
The news caught the attention of politicians, with Elly Schlein, leader of the Democratic Party, standing by the workers during a meeting in Pomigliano d’Arco. “These layoffs are unacceptable. These workers are the backbone of our country, and we cannot leave 400 families stranded,” Schlein stated. She urged Stellantis to take responsibility and called for clear answers from Parliament through John Elkann, the company’s chairman.
A call for responsibility and dialogue
Schlein emphasized the need to bring the discussion forward and for Stellantis to provide a tangible solution for the affected workers. This crisis risks becoming a symbol of a system struggling to ensure long-term job security.
Stellantis: reopening dialogue with Trasnova to support workers
Stellantis is ready to reopen discussions with Trasnova, aiming to explore ways to support the company during this challenging time. The announcement comes at a critical moment for Trasnova’s employees, who are directly affected by the end of the contract with the automotive giant.
The impact of ending the contract with Stellantis
The termination of the contract between Stellantis and Trasnova has raised significant concerns, especially among workers. Acknowledging the social and economic repercussions, Stellantis has expressed its willingness to seek solutions to mitigate the negative effects.
A new meeting to find shared solutions
Stellantis has confirmed its attendance at the meeting scheduled for December 10, convened by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. This event is a crucial opportunity to renegotiate agreements and identify collaborative pathways to support Trasnova and its employees.
