Chrysler Chief, Marchionne, Labeled a “Union Buster” in Italy
by George Windau
While “CBS 60 Minutes” suggests that Sergio Merchionne of
FIAT was some kind of genius for saving Chrysler in the USA, in Italy workers
consider Marchonne a “union buster.” I say this based upon an interview with
Adriano Alessandria, a member of the Federation of Italian Metal and Office
Workers (FIOM). I conducted the interview with the help of Stella Pavnosetti,
in interpreter, on May 20, 2012 while I was at an autoworkers conference in
Munich, Germany.
