Fiat Workers Call for Strike Over Ronaldo’s Purchase

Fiat factory workers in Italy can think of a few things they’d rather see their owner spend $130 million on than Cristiano Ronaldo. A Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV union in the south of the country called for a strike to protest the purchase of star player by Juventus Football Club SpA, which like the carmaker is owned by the Agnelli family. “It’s unacceptable that, while FCA and CNHI workers continue to make huge economic sacrifices, the company spends hundreds of millions of euros on the purchase of a player,” union USB Lavoro Privato said in a statement.
