Explained in plain English

Can Italy stop job cuts?

Yes, Italian law gives the government significant power to intervene in large-scale redundancies, especially when a major employer like Pfizer is involved. They often mediate between companies and unions to find alternative solutions, like retraining or relocation, to protect jobs. The ongoing talks with Italy's industry ministry reflect this influence.
