Carmaker FIAT has invited the trade union FIOM to appoint their representatives at the enterprise after the Constitutional Court’s corner stone decision, which declared that unions should not be discriminated based on their decision to refuse signing a collective agreement (see also the July/August Newsletter). The decision resulted from a continuous fight by the FIOM in numerous court cases for nearly three years.
