Industrial relations
The Group maintains constant, profitable relations with workers' representatives and trade unions. These are
founded on mutual understanding and fair discussion, in the conviction that - while respecting the reciprocal
roles of each party - there are common interests to be pursued via constructive dialogue. The workers'
representative and trade unions are therefore free to operate in compliance with local legislation and
practices.
In many of the countries where the Group has factories, 2015 was marked by the signature of agreements
with workers' representatives and trade unions. These agreements covered the normal renewal of the
economic and regulatory terms of current payroll contracts, as well as specific actions to improve
competitiveness/reduce costs where required by market conditions.
