Letter of the workers of FIAT Tychy (Poland) Workers Pomigliano d'Arco (Italy)

The letter from a group of workers of the factory in Tychy, Poland, Pomigliano colleagues who are about to vote whether to accept the terms of the Fiat Panda to restore production in Italy
( This letter was written June 13, the eve of the referendum in Pomigliano of Arc in which workers are asked to comment on their working conditions. Fiat has agreed to invest in this factory for the production of the Panda which is currently produced in Tychy in Poland. The bosses ask workers to work on Saturdays, to three shifts per day instead of two and cut the trip. Three out of four trade unions have accepted these conditions, the FIOM resists)

At one point late last year began to spread the word that the Fiat had plans to shift production back to Italy. From that moment on Tychy has dropped terror. Fiat Poland thinks he can make us what he wants. Last year, for example, has paid only 40% of the bonus, although we had exceeded all production records.

They think that people do not fight for fear of losing their jobs. But we are really angry. The third "Day of Protest" of workers in Tychy scheduled for June 17 will not be raised as last year. What we now have to lose?

Now they are asking the Italian workers to accept worse conditions as they do each time. Who works to understand that if they do not agree to work as slaves someone else is willing to do it for them. Take for granted the broken backs of our Italian colleagues, just as they did with ours. In

qusesti day we hoped that the trade unions in Italy to fight. Not for us to keep our work in Tychy, but to show that there are workers at the FIAT willing to stand on their own terms. Our union, our employees have been weak. We had the feeling of not being able to fight, to be too poor. We prayed for each job. We just left the Italian workers taking their jobs, and now we are in the same situation.

E 'Clearly, this can not last long. We can not continue to contend among us jobs. We must unite and fight for our interests internationally.

For us there is nothing else to do in Tychy that stopping to kneel and start fight. We ask our colleagues to resist and sabotage the company that has bled for years and now spits on him.

workers, it is time to change.
