Abstract

The article builds on and deepens the main findings of a research project implemented by Fondazione Giuseppe Di Vittorio and Fondazione Claudio Sabattini on the FCA-CNH Group at the request of FIOM and CGIL. The research revolved around two main aspects: the first one dealt with the transformations of the automotive sector at international level, and the strategic positioning of the FCA Group with respect to the main trends of electrification, connectivity, and mobility as a service; the second one focused on the changes that have affected working conditions following the technological and organisational changes implemented by the company. From this latter point of view, there was an overall worsening of working conditions in the aftermath of the introduction of the WCM organisational system, as well as due to the new labour metrics deriving from Ergo-UAS, and the technological transformations towards a higher level of automation and digitisation.
