Dumarey automotive plant layoffs spark strikes and municipal support in Tuscany
Dumarey Automotive announced the termination of 35 staff‑leasing workers at its Fauglia plant, rejecting a proposal from the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) to suspend the dismissals until September while a new CEO and an industrial plan are prepared. The decision has triggered a wave of industrial action: Fiom, Fim and CISL unions organized an eight‑hour strike on 31 July in Pisa and a protest in front of the Fauglia plant, followed by a corteo that marched from Palazzo Gambacorti to the Prefecture. The municipal council of Fauglia unanimously approved a resolution expressing solidarity with the workers and urging the immediate withdrawal of the layoffs. The plant employs roughly 900 people, including direct employees and staff‑leasing workers, making the dispute a significant regional labour issue.
