Fiat: Building unity between workers in Poland and ItalyUnder the leadership of Sergio Marchionne, the FIAT group has declared war on its workers.

(Note by the authors: This article, among other weaknesses, has been written at a time when events occur at great speed. Changes in the situation could alter the content and meaning of what is said here.) -> read article... |
