People With Many Moles

"Dear Marchionne, will never be a party
Sergio Marchionne in Los Angeles

The "Marchionne show in Detroit will remain in the annals of Italian industry. On the eve of the referendum at Mirafiori, Fiat's CEO has said many things he had already said. From the fact that if the agreement will with at least 51 percent, the Lingotto will go ahead with its investments, but if not then win the "ends", the group goes to produce elsewhere. The logic is always the same: technically blackmail. With all due respect, I could not find other definitions.
But this time there's more. The "CEO" Italian-Swiss-Canadian seasoned this warning with a remark that struck me. In confirming that if the referendum does not pass the Fiat Mirafiori close and proceed with the relocation of the plant in Serbia or somewhere Marchionne added: "And now we go back to celebrate in Detroit." This is really incomprehensible. Meanwhile, it is not clear opportunity "policy" to inflame this far, a few hours after the vote of the workers who will decide the fate of their workers, as individuals, in many cases of fathers and mothers.
But then, you really do not understand what we would have to "celebrate". It is a "celebration" if a great Italian car company decides to close a plant that has existed for centuries, and represents a piece of history not only industrial but also social in this country? It is a "party" if it disappears from our manufacturing base to a physical location, as well as symbolic, which have passed through hundreds of thousands of women and men who migrate very often from a poor South and desperate, they found just Mirafiori not only the sacrifice but also the ransom? It is a "celebration" if you play havoc with a "public good" as the plant, where between the Fifties and Sixties were formed and shaped generations of Italians who have experienced the freedom from need, wisdom and dignity of work, and have accumulated the heritage of rights always carries with it the work, and that transforms a worker on the assembly line in a "citizen" of the polis
However you judge the agreement and plan desired by the Lingotto "Factory of Italy" The assistance of Marchionne and strength of Fiom, this is not, can not and will never be a "celebration". If it became reality, the closure of Mirafiori would be a tragedy for all. Not only for trade unions and workers, but also for the government, the opposition, for Italy. Obviously it must be hard to see beyond the Atlantic, in the distant Auburn Hill, but it would be a tragic loss especially for Fiat. "
