Tavares' shield for Alfa in a coma

A shield from Stellantis to protect the former FCA Italian factories. Carlos Tavares, formerly at the helm of PSA, denies the fears of Italian workers and unions. He reassured the former FCA tricolor factories: "For Italy the good news is that Stellantis will act as a shield, as a protection for some factories, it does not represent a risk". The CEO of Stellantis, immediately after the formalization of the “equal merger” between the Peugeot group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, wanted to personally get to know the Italian plants.
He left his Paris headquarters for a trip to Italy. On 20 January he visited Mirafiori (the cradle of Fiat), on 21 Melfi (the most advanced and productive plant with Jeeps and the 500 X), on 22 Cassino (the plant in severe crisis for Alfa Romeo sales in dive). Accompanied by John Elkann, who passed from the presidency of FCA to that of Stellantis (the Agnelli family is the relative majority shareholder with 14.4% of the shares), he wanted to know the plants, speak with the workers, discuss with the trade unions.
Italian fears are strong: will Stellantis favor France, which is politically and economically stronger than our country? In the new auto giant, which also sees the presence as a shareholder of the French government but not the Italian one, will the interests of Paris prevail?
Tavares, aware of these fears, spoke of a Stellantis shield for Italy. He reiterated: "Our commitment to the merger is not to close any production plant" and "to safeguard all jobs". It wasn't so obvious. There are those who feared that the commitment to employment was above all valid for the French part of the new auto giant born from the marriage between FCA and PSA, the fourth largest group in the world with over 8 million cars produced every year.
The fear was there and is because many Italian factories are in trouble, the use of layoffs is high. Mirafiori produces the electric Fiat 500 and expects other models, Cassino works at just 15% -20% of production capacity. Giulia and the Suv Stelvio, the two models of the Biscione, are not good. Especially the Alfa Romeo Giulia suffered a slump in sales. Other models have not arrived and only now will production of the new Maserati SUV start in Cassino: Grecale, also built in the electric version.
Tavares judged Cassino's Alfa models to be of good quality but penalized by uncalibrated marketing. He announced a relaunch of Alfa Romeo and Maserati which ended up in dire straits due to the failure of the promised new models: «The very high value of these iconic brands must be recognized. We will make assessments to understand how to support their growth and profitable remedies ». The new helmsman of Stellantis did not give details on the future business plan, but made it clear that part of the 5 billion euros resulting from the synergies produced by the merger will go to investments in the Biscione and Trident brands. Another high-end model should arrive in Cassino after the Grecale.
Somehow Tavares seems to want to resume and implement Sergio Marchionne's plan for Italy: to ensure life and employment in the factories of the Peninsula by focusing on premium brands. In 2017 the then CEO of FCA announced: "From 2020 in Italy the group will only have premium productions, with the Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands". He motivated the choice: "Our way to live in globalization is in the creation of global brands such as Jeep and iconic premium brands such as Alfa and Maserati". Unfortunately it did not happen. Marchionne died suddenly in July 2018. FCA investments went above all for the Jeep and for the American factories of the group, the sales of the Biscione and the Trident (the models are built in Grugliasco) collapsed at a glance.
Tavares has already performed a miracle: it saved Peugeot and Citroen from bankruptcy by focusing on quality, innovation and competitiveness. He incorporated Opel into the PSA group, protecting employment. Now the problem of the many different brands to be reorganized and integrated, avoiding the risk of production overlaps, is being raised. There will be an initial response when it presents the first Stellantis industrial plan.

The day I visited the Supreme Court they were hearing a case about the rights of an employer to conversations had on a company cell phone. It was a grey rainy day so I have added some interest by changing the sky and adding texture layers.

Mine can absolutely count at least to Two (as in, they know in a particular situation I should have thrown two cookies and they only found one) AND they know if the other dog gets MORE of something.

California Adopts Strong Equal Pay Protections
Gov. Jerry Brown signed the California Fair Pay Act into law Tuesday.
California will soon have what advocates say are the strongest equal pay protections in the country after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed the California Fair Pay Act into law Tuesday.
SB 358, introduced by state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D) earlier this year, requires employers to prove that any pay gap between workers is due to factors like skill level or seniority and not gender. Additionally, the legislation protects workers from retribution for sharing salary information or asking about their colleagues' compensation.
Brown signed the bill into law during a ceremony at Rosie the Riveter Park in Richmond, California.
"Sixty-six years after passage of the California Equal Pay Act, many women still earn less money than men doing the same or similar work," Brown said. "This bill is another step toward closing the persistent wage gap between men and women."
The bill unanimously passed in the state Senate in May, and cleared the Assembly 66-2 last week.
Jackson attended Tuesday's ceremony, posting a celebratory photo on Twitter:
"This is a momentous day for California, and it is long overdue. I want to thank the Governor for his support and for signing this bill into law. Equal pay isn’t just the right thing for women, it’s the right thing for our economy and for California," Jackson said in a statement. "Today, California leads the nation in showing how it can be done."
The legislation goes a step further than existing fair pay regulations by establishing the standard of equal pay for "substantially similar work" rather than "equal work." The bill's backers say this language closes a loophole employers could use to justify gender-rooted differences in compensation.
While federal attempts at closing the gender gap, such as the U.S. Senate's Paycheck Fairness Act, have divided congressional Democrats and Republicans, the California bill had strong support from both parties as well as business groups like the California Chamber of Commerce.
"As working moms and women who have competed in male-dominated industries, Assembly Republican women stand behind the importance of paying women and men equally for equal work," Assembly Minority Leader Kristin Olsen (R) said in a statement in August.
On average, women are paid 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. The gender pay gap is even worse for women of color. As the Center for American Progress reported last year, Hispanic women on average made just 54 percent of what white men made in 2013, while black women made 64 cents on the dollar compared to white men.
Equal pay regulations have been on the books in California since 1959, but pay disparity still persists. A 2013 study by the National Partnership for Women & Families found California women earned an average of 85 cents on the dollar compared to men, costing female full-time workers approximately $33.6 billion annually.
Advocates hope California's new law is a beacon of progress to come.
"The win here is undeniable. We think of 2015 as the year of fair pay," Equal Rights Advocates executive director Noreen Farrell said in a statement. "With the strong support for fair pay bills in the California legislature, a business community willing to prioritize pay equity for women, and calls for fair pay from the Oscars stage to the United Nations, it seems the tides are shifting toward closing the gender wage gap."
The law also won praise from actress Patricia Arquette, who put a spotlight on pay equality during her acceptance speech at the 2015 Academy Awards.
"The California Fair Pay Act received bipartisan support because women support families and drive our economy. They also have tremendous political power," Arquette said in a statement. "It is a critical step toward ensuring that women in California are seen and valued as equals."
The California Fair Pay Act goes into effect Jan. 1.
