In a joint statement, several Italian unions said 20.000 workers have come together to "relaunch the future of the auto industry in Italy and Europe". They went on to say the "automotive sector crisis risks having devastating effects on production and employment" and say "responses are urgently needed from the European Union, the Italian government, Stellantis and component companies". Stateside, the UAW released a new video condemning the company's "broken promises" and reiterating their demand that "Stellantis must get rid of Carlos Tavares". The timing isn't a coincidence as the UAW said the video's release "coincides with a one-day general strike by Italian unions to protest Stellantis' significant production cuts and the broader impact on metalworkers across Italy".
