Abstract

After explaining how Cassa Integrazione (CIG) copes with redundancies in Italian industry, the paper presents research carried out in Turin on a sample of 70 former Fiat and 20 former Ceat workers. It argues that the making of the factory populations and the politics pursued by the companies are important factors in making the CIG experience more or less dramatic. Some features of former Fiat workers who spent a short, a medium and a long period on CIG are then examined. It turns out that those with stronger family support were abler to use CIG for a longer period, until they had the best chance for a new job. The hypothesis suggested is that this strategic behaviour is to be related to the different stage reached by the workers in the cycle of urban integration.
