Fiat will reorganize its production in the next four years, planning to eliminate about 5.000 jobs in Italy and move a production part in the U.S. market.
The Italians from Fiat could produce up to 350.000 units, Lancia (under theChrysler seal) and Alfa Romeo in North America, available exclusively for this market. Though the Italians are expanding in the North America market through the alliance that they made with Chrysler, they will discharge almost 5.000 peoples in Italy as part of their strategic plan for 2010-2014.
Three factories in Italy will suffer after this strike of personnel, which represents 15% of the amount of employees that Fiat has in its manufactories. The number of models will be reduced from 12 to 8, and the production in Italy will be increased by 50%, achieving an amount of 900.000 units. Therefore, the 25.000 employees still in production will make 50 percent more cars in the next 4 years.
The Fiat Group has 80.000 employees in Italy and 190.000 more at a global level. The Mirafiori factory in Torino will be the most affected by this comedown, to be lost among 2.000 and 2.500 jobs, while the Termini Imerese in Sicilia will loose about 1.500 jobs in 2011, when closing. The reason for reducing the employees number in Italy and moving out the production in the U.S.A., rests in the jetting up of the Fiat Group and the disposal of the taxes applied on the imported products on the U.S. market.
