The response of the workers at the Kragujevac Fiat factory to work in the Trnava car plant in Slovakia is still far below the expectations of the management, which asks workers to state in writing why they do not accept the offer, told FoNet union of the United Branch Nezavisnost. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has informed production workers that they can apply for work at the Stellantis plant in Slovakia, which produces Peugeot 208 and Citroen C3 Picasso vehicles .

Despite daily persuasion to accept the offer, fewer than 20 workers have signed a one-year contract in Slovakia in the past two weeks, union president Zoran Stanic told FoNet . According to him, the main reasons for this are the unattractive monthly salary and the accompanying conditions.

The workers of Kragujevac have been offered a salary of around 850 euros, but they have to pay room and board with that money, so the salary is too low under these conditions. Stanic explained that working in Slovakia under these conditions means that a worker, in addition to an apartment in Kragujevac, would also have to pay for an apartment in Slovakia, feed his family in Kragujevac and feed himself in Slovakia, which multiplies his expenses.

“It is clear to everyone that such conditions are unacceptable, as well as the explanation that they also go there for training to work on modern plants. Fiat workers learned to mount cars a long time ago on more modern equipment than the one at the Trnava plant , ”said Stanic.

He said he understood Slovakia , which probably has many workers on sick leave due to the pandemic, so he tried to replace them, but he didn't understand "Serbia's interest in this story". “Slovakia gets quality, low-cost labor, Fiat in Kragujevac is reducing paid vacation costs for workers who only had 80 working days last year and this year is expected to double that. Where is the interest of Serbia and the workers ?, ”asked Stanic.

He said that the recently formed multinational giant Stellantis, born from the merger of the Italian FCA and the French PSA, has not yet said anything about the possible introduction of a new model in production at the Kragujevac factory , but that he suspects something is boiling in the pot. given that in the last two weeks two senior delegations from Fiat and Peugeot have been spotted in Serbia “.

I believe that a new model will arrive in our factory within a year, but I am afraid that then we will have a new problem. We will have a new model for which we will not have enough skilled labor, because many young and capable professionals have left the factory in the past two or three years, Stanic said .
