ROME (AP) — Workers in Italy’s troubled automotive sector are holding a national strike for the first time in 20 years, with a massive demonstration being held in the center of Rome. Friday’s strike, called by the sector’s three main unions, comes as tensions rise between global automaker Stellantis and the Italian far-right government, which accuses the car-making giant of relocating assembly plants to low-cost countries. Stellantis, the world’s fourth largest automaker, is under pressure globally to provide clarity about its future production plans as it faces growing competition and financial strains.
