14 February, 2001Fiat Poland has announced plans to dismiss 750 workers.
POLAND: The Solidarity trade union has demanded that Fiat management in Poland withdraw company plans to dismiss 750 workers at its plant in Bielsko Biala. Fiat announced its decision unilaterally on February 6, without consultation or negotiation with the trade union. Solidarnosc argues that no forced redundancies are necessary as there are no dramatic economic or financial problems and demands that Fiat open unconditional negotiations with the Polish trade union.
A protest campaign has been launched. Fiat workers have posted banners on all factory gates in Bielsko Biala as well as Tyche, demanding that management withdraw its plans, and Solidarity is requesting urgent solidarity support in the form of protest messages to Fiat headquarters in Torino and to Bielsko Biala.
