ITALY – Workers at Mirafiori, the main Turin plant of Italian carmaker Fiat, narrowly approved a tough deal on working conditions .

For Bartolini, the new Mirafiori working rules – directed to increase time work, reduce rights, strengthen workers’ stress – not only are not likely to increase the factory productivity, but are also a risky cause for quality deterioration of Fiat products. Development, in his idea, means improvement of life quality, and improvement of work quality – for the case – and not just the contrary.
