据《电讯报》独家消息称,欧足联要求因凡蒂诺辞职,否则将发起不信任投票。报道称,因凡蒂诺正面临欧足联发出的最后通牒:主动辞职,否则将面临紧急不信任投票。据了解,如果因凡蒂诺拒绝下台,欧足联55个成员协会将一致投票支持将其罢免。事实上,欧足联只需获得43个成员协会支持,就可以发起不信任投票。在因凡蒂诺被迫放弃其价值150亿英镑的世界杯股权出售计划后,欧足联于周六上午公开宣布,对其已失去信任,并要求国际足联进行领导层更替。 DETROIT -- Detroit's three automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the United Auto Workers strikes, which have lasted for nearly four weeks.The companies say the strikes have nevertheless forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes. In one case, layoffs have been imposed at a factory that uses supplies from a parts factory on strike.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less favorable terms in negotiations with automakers. The factories that have been affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. “We’re not looking at huge numbers of workers relative to the ones actually being struck. But there is fallout.”In a statement, Bryce Currie, vice president of Americas manufacturing at Ford, said: “While we are doing what we can to avoid layoffs, we have no choice but to reduce production of parts that would be destined for a plant that is on strike."UAW President Shawn Fain countered in a statement that the automakers were using layoffs to pressure the union into settling the strike. With billions in profits, Fain argued, the companies don’t have to lay off a single employee.The UAW began striking against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The next week, the union expanded the strike to 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. All told, about 25,000 workers have walked off their jobs at the three automakers. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. By contrast, anyone who is laid off would qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. “Their plan won’t work,” Fain said. “The UAW will make sure any worker laid off in the Big Three’s latest attack will not go without an income.”GM said it has laid off 2,330 workers, including 1,600 at a temporarily closed assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, that makes the Chevrolet Malibu sedan and Cadillac XT4 small SUV. The plant uses metal parts produced at the GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri, which is on strike. Other GM facilities that have been affected by layoffs are in Lockport, New York; Toledo, Ohio; Marion, Indiana; Parma, Ohio; and Lansing, Michigan.Ford said it has laid off 1,865 workers. They include 600 auto-body and parts-stamping employees in Wayne, Michigan, who are not on strike but who have been affected by a nearby assembly plant that has been struck. Other Ford locations with layoffs include Chicago; Sterling Heights and Livonia, Michigan; and Cleveland and Lima, Ohio. Stellantis said late Monday that it had laid off about 640 workers, including 520 at an engine factory complex in Trenton, Michigan, that supplies a Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio, that is on strike. Other locations with layoffs include a metal casting plant in Kokomo, Indiana, and a machining factory in Toledo. Fiorani said that if the strike widens, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Once metal stamping factories that supply multiple assembly plants have produced enough parts for non-striking facilities, the companies would likely shut them down.“Once you've filled up the stocks for the other plants you supply," he said, “you have to lay off the workers and wait out the strike.”Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.Fiorani said that while larger parts suppliers can likely withstand the strike, smaller companies that make parts for the bigger companies might not have enough cash or the ability to borrow to outlast the job actions. Some, he said, may have a couple dozen workers “and don't have billions in value to use as collateral in loans,” he said. Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry's ongoing transition to electric vehicles.。此前有消息披露,因凡蒂诺计划将世界杯商业权益的30%出售给私人投资者,因此遭到了整个足球界的猛烈批评。如果该计划实施,一批私人投资者将掌握国际足联男女世界杯等核心赛事的商业权益。欧足联指责国际足联是在“出卖足球的灵魂”。周四,包括英格兰足球总会在内的欧足联55个成员协会以55票全票通过决议,决定抵制世界杯。随后,中北美及加勒比海足联成员协会也追随欧足联的立场。但国际足联周五早些时候仍发表措辞强硬的声明,坚持计划将继续推进,并否认这是“出售足球”。然而,当亚足联随后确认也将反对这一计划,并表示“与欧足联和中北美及加勒比海足联站在一起,共同捍卫国际足联世界杯”后,因凡蒂诺已无法在国际足联211个会员协会中获得超过半数的支持。周五,这场反对浪潮进一步扩大。因凡蒂诺的高级顾问卡洛斯-科代罗因抗议该计划宣布辞职,国际足联首席运营官凯文-拉穆尔则表示,国际足联员工“被他欺骗了”。随后,政治层面的压力也接踵而至。英国首相安迪-伯纳姆公开要求因凡蒂诺辞职,而与因凡蒂诺关系密切的美国总统特朗普则表示,自己事先并未获悉这一计划。拥有广泛足球界联系的政治策略顾问阿希什-普拉沙尔也支持欧足联推动罢免国际足联主席。他表示:“因凡蒂诺策划了一场试图掏空并窃取足球、为自己牟利的行动。我们不仅必须阻止这一切,还必须确保这种事情永远不会再次发生——而这一切,应当从让因凡蒂诺下台开始。”
