15 March, 2001Another 440 workers have been laid off as a consequence of dismissals at Fiat.

POLAND: In addition to the dismissal of 750 workers at the Fiat plant in Bielsko Biala, Poland, announced in February, another 440 workers have been laid off at three Polish plants to which Fiat outsources a part of its production:
- 68 workers at Sistema, Bielsko, Tychy;
- 310 workers at Delfo Polska;
- 62 workers at TNT.
The three companies are not controlled by Fiat. The workers had been transferred from Fiat to these sub-contractors, which work entirely for the Italian carmaker.
On February 6, when Fiat announced its decision to dismiss the 750 workers at its plant in Bielsko, it did not consult or negotiate with the trade union, NSZZ Solidarnosc, whereupon the IMF sent a protest letter to Fiat's top management in Turin, Italy.
