Stellantis Commits New Hiring Alongside Mirafiori Voluntary Redundancies

Stellantis has confirmed a commitment to recruit new professionals while implementing a voluntary redundancy plan involving 120 white-collar employees at the Mirafiori Central Units. The announcement followed a meeting held on July 2 between company management at the Turin plant and representatives of FIOM-CGIL in Italy. The hiring initiative is intended to bring in professionals with the capabilities required to support the company's future electrified vehicle lineup while replacing employees who choose to leave under the voluntary program.

Following this commitment, FIOM-CGIL signed the agreement, stating that this represents the first occasion in which Stellantis has formally linked voluntary redundancies with a pledge to recruit new personnel. According to the union, previous agreements involving workforce reductions did not include comparable hiring commitments, making this arrangement a notable departure from earlier practices and an important step toward maintaining workforce continuity during the company's ongoing transformation.

The union also emphasized that it will continue encouraging permanent recruitment across Stellantis operations to strengthen production capacity, research activities, development programs, and generational renewal throughout the company's factories. FIOM-CGIL believes sustained hiring will be important for supporting future industrial growth while ensuring the workforce possesses the skills required for the transition toward electrified mobility.
