I quote :

 

"MILAN, April 16 (Reuters) - Production at Alfa Romeo's main plant in Italy remained partly suspended on Wednesday as union workers kept up their protest despite police intervention, said the sports car maker's parent, Fiat (FIA.MI: Quote, Profile, Research).

 

Workers have blocked the entrance to the plant, in the town of Pomigliano d'Arco, near Naples, to protest against plans to transfer about 300 employees to another building as part of a reorganisation.

 

The plant, which makes the 147 hatchback and the 159 sedan, has had to partially suspend production because the protesting workers have prevented trucks loaded with parts from passing through its gates.

 

Fiat obtained a court order to have police clear the workers from the entrance on Tuesday, but the protest has resumed unabated.

 

Fiat has also used a helicopter to bring parts to the plant, union workers told Reuters this week.

 

Recently renamed after Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, the plant had restarted operations on March 3 after a two-month shutdown for refurbishment.

 

It employs about 5,000 workers, some of whom conducted protests on a number of issues during the shutdown. (Reporting by Gilles Castonguay; Editing by Andrew Hurst) "

 

 

 

So , expect more delay on the new 159 etc... [:p]

IMO , they should move production to poland to punish the swines. it would cut costs and improve quality.
