In very surprising and very brief news, workers on the Alfa MiTo line at Mirafiori in Italy have been laid off. According to reports from Milan daily Il Corriere, about 700 workers will be going home from the last week of October. An official statement from Fiat is expected sometime this afternoon. My only guess is that the Italian labour market and automobile market is still keenly feeling the economic crisis, or it is something to do with production at that particular plant, but more news to come. Stay tuned.
