On 22 February 2007, the company and the trade unions reached a company agreement regarding the industrial plan 2007-2009 at the Cassino plant (one of the main Fiat plants in Italy). The agreement envisages an increase in production, the reorganisation of work and the creation of 950 new jobs by the end of October 2007. In particular, the company will hire 950 employees with apprenticeship contracts and fixed-term contracts.
