The Independent Trade Union of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Serbia (FCA) factory, which produces the Fiat 500L, expects improvement and positive changes due to the merger of the FCA and Peugeot-Citroen-Opel (PSA) groups.
For the Beta agency, the president of the FCA union in Kragujevac, Sasa Djordjevic, stated that the merger of two large set companies into one even bigger one, also multinational, means the expansion of the market for product placement on several continents.
“Workers of the factory in Kragujevac, which will be part of that multinational company, expect an increase in production, the arrival of a new model, higher employment and higher salaries,” said Djordjevic.
According to him, the merger should bring the arrival of new subcontractors and the opening of factories in Kragujevac, as well as elsewhere in Serbia.
He said, however, that everything new takes time, that merging is a long-term process. What follows is a change in the name of the company, which, in his opinion, will also take time.
