Stellantis (STLA) has cut 350 employees from its plants in Pratola Serra and Pomigliano in the Campania region of southern Italy as part of a series of voluntary exits, an Italian trade union representing the workers said on Wednesday.

The union, Fiom-Cgil, described the layoffs as part of Stellantis' "disengagement from Italy" and a "strategy of emptying the plants," according to a Google Translation of the union's statement.

Stellantis did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
