MILAN (Reuters) – Italy’s biggest union of metal workers FIM-CISL said on Friday that the transition to electric cars puts at risk 60,000 jobs in the country.

“In spite of the complaints and requests from trade unions and companies, in the budget law the government has not included any intervention to support a sector overwhelmed by changes caused by the energy and ecological transition,” said in a statement Ferdinando Uliano, head of FIM CISL.
