As confirmed by an Italian trade union, workers at Fiat company will go on strike in response to Cristiano Ronaldo moving on a €105 million (£93 million) deal from Real Madrid to Juventus.

Report has it that some of the transfer fee for the Portuguese star is set to be paid through the Bianconeri’s parent company Exor, which in turn owns Fiat.

The deal has prompted an angry reaction from the automobile manufacturers affiliated with Unione Sindacale di Base, and it confirmed workers will walk out of the Melfi plant for two days:

“It’s unacceptable that while FCA and CNHI workers continue to make huge economic sacrifices, the company then spends hundreds of millions of euros on the purchase of a player.

“We’re told that times are tough, that we need to resort to social safety nets, waiting for the launch of new models, which never arrive. And while the workers and their families tighten their belts more and more, the company decides to invest a lot of money on a single human resource!

“… The company should invest in car models that guarantee the futures of thousands of people, rather than enriching only one. That should be the objective, a company that puts the interests of their employees first. If it isn’t, it’s because they prefer the world of football, entertainment and everything else

“For the reasons described above, the Unione Sindacale di Base has declared a strike at FCA Melfi between 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 15 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17.”

As reported by Patricia Terroba of Marca, the Agnelli family, who have a 63.77 per cent stake in Juventus, also own 29.8 per cent of the conglomerate that Fiat and Ferrari are part of.

Juventus owner Andrea Agnelli “resorted to Fiat to finance the ‘Cristiano Operation,’ and as soon as they found that it was feasible thanks to the funds of the group, they said yes to the Portuguese.”

I understand their point but CR7 worth it.

They know nothing

A company that has been telling you there's no money suddenly goes to buy one super expensive mega star from abroad. That seems like a company that doesn't care about your welfare or that of your family. Though I am a big fan of Ronaldo, I support their strike. They should be well compensated.

Masterclass...!

If this had happened in NIGERIA some idiat will be quick to say NIGERIA is the worse country on earth

Too petty.
Exor owns Juventus and Fiat. Alright, that's fine.
However, they know what it takes to make money from Fiat as well as Juventus. If the board deems it fit that spending on Juve will pay faster than a car company, who are the workers to make decisions for management. If you're not cool with the job, you can as well resign and go work somewhere else. Football is big money especially with Juventus with large following all over the world. Fiat will require much more to break even compared to Juventus. It's not rocket science.

They will soon realise he is worth more than that

A company that only money recovered from Ronaldo's jersey sales can buy?
Not to talk of image right and other things that comes with the GOAT.
Those notice me wannabes should shut up and sit down.

RONALDO CAN MAKE FOR THE COMPANY FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN DARE TO PAY TO RONALDO.

Try and read the article first na.

They are ignorant. You don't pay complete cash for a player when buying him, the club pays to the patent club as he wins trophies and what juventus stands to make in terms of sales of jersey and other club souvenirs will be more than what they are paying for the player.
