The USB union said Wednesday that
it has called on its members in the southern town of Melfi,
where Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has a big plant, to stage
a strike next week over Juventus's acquisition of Cristiano
Ronaldo.
FCA, Juventus and trucks-and-tractor-maker CNH Industrial are
all controlled by the Agnelli/Elkann family holding company
Exor.
USB said it was impossible not to strike when faced with "so
much unfairness.
"It is unacceptable that the company, which continues to ask
for enormous sacrifices from FCA and CNH Industrial workers, has
decided to spend hundreds of millions of euros to buy a
footballer" it said.
The union said the strike would run from 22:00 on Sunday
until 6.00 on Tuesday.
