both Fiat and Juventus, and with Fiat announcing a string of cutbacks and redundancies over the past few years, some employees have been angered by the family’s willingness to spend tens of
millions of dollars on buying Ronaldo while they struggle. “It is unacceptable that while the [owners] ask workers of Fiat for huge economic sacrifices for years, the same decide to spend

spokesperson for the USB Lavoro Privato union said.
