Italy:FIOM expulsed from Fiat Italian factories

[syndicalist]

I was reading this aricle and am curious to hear the FdCA's take on the situation, etc.

Separate agreement leads to expulsion of FIOM from Fiat Italian factories

As you can imagine no-one here is too happy with this move.

Anyway, there's a statement by our Labour commission from back in November (in English) here: http://www.anarkismo.net/article/21224 and I've just put up a summary of another statement from 2 weeks ago here http://www.anarkismo.net/article/21777

The most worrying thing - apart from the situation that the FIOM and more importantly its FIAT workers now find themselves in - is the fact that this sort of agreement will in all probablity be used as a model for labour relations in general in the country. We're heading back to the 19th century...
