Lamborghini Reaches Expansion Agreement with Workforce

Lamborghini avoids the sort of union woes faced by some automakers in the U.S. by securing a near-unanimous agreement with its workforce on a new four-year contract.

The Italian supercar maker says it has signed the renewal of a Corporate Supplementary Contract four years after the last one. The automaker based in Sant'Agata, Bologna, and the unitary trade union representative, together with FIOM CGIL and FIM CISL, ratified the agreement after an internal company referendum in which employees expressed wholehearted consent.

To aid expansion and modernization, a comprehensive revision of working hours and 500 permanent new jobs by 2026 are the main changes introduced by the agreement.

The signing comes after a draft agreement was concluded last December and represents a major step forward for the company. The changes to working hours will take effect between late 2024 and early 2025 in a pilot project to evaluate their full feasibility and alignment with all company processes. After a year of testing, a committee of experts will assess the long-term sustainability of the new work organization.
