Workers at Fiat's iconic Mirafiori factory backed by a narrow majority a landmark labour deal that will save the loss-making plant and could overhaul labour relations in Italy, a union source told Reuters.


Vote counting in a referendum was still going on but the votes in favour of the contract have topped the threshold that guaranteed a victory to the 'Yes' camp, the Fimsic union said.

The deal limits strikes and absenteeism in exchange for a promise by Fiat, Italy's biggest industrial group, to keep investing in the country.
