Rimini -- Fiat's chief executive officer in Italy said the company was justified in firing three disruptive union workers and called for a new "social pact."
CEO Marchionne said in a speech in Rimini, "It's unacceptable to tolerate or defend certain acts, which in some cases go as far as sabotage."
Italy, he said, is "afraid of change," as he called for a "social pact, a common effort to share sacrifices and commitments and give the country a chance to move forward."
The three workers were fired for allegedly interfering with non-striking workers, which caused 1,700 workers to halt production temporarily, Ansa reported Thursday.

Auburn Hills -- U.S. automaker Chrysler said it had invited its dealerships to bid on rights to sell the Fiat 500 and that only 125 outlets would be approved.
Potentially, 2,300 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram truck dealers could bid on the option to sell the small Fiats, which are scheduled to go on sale in the United States in December, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday.
In addition to a general investment in the brand, Chrysler is requiring dealerships arrange for showroom space that is separate from their Chrysler brand vehicles, company spokesman Ralph Kisiel said.
The four-cylinder vehicle is scheduled for construction in Toluca, Mexico, using engines made in Dundee, Mich.

Detroit -- Italian automaker Fiat is redesigning Chrysler's manufacturing processes to reduce wasted time and movement, industry observers say.
Fiat has moved quickly to inspect Chrysler's North American plants after merging with the bankrupt U.S. automaker and helping it out of Chapter 11, The Detroit News reported Monday.
Under the mantra "world class engineering," Fiat managers are reorganizing Chrysler assembly plant workers from teams of five into larger teams of about 10, and are training them to perform every job instead of just one, Chrysler officials told the newspaper.
Meanwhile, they say, the number of supervisors is being reduced and worker team leaders are being handed more responsibility.

Turin, -- Italian automaker Fiat said Monday it had sign a deal with Guangzhou Automobile Group -- known as GAC -- to build an assembly plant in south-central China.
The joint venture, worth about $556 million, expands on a partnership Fiat formed with state-owned GAC to share power train technology in 2008, MarketWatch reported Monday.
The new plant is designed to produce 250,000 cars and 300,000 engines a year. Production should begin by the second half of 2011, with initial production expected to be 140,000 cars and 220,000 engines a year, Fiat said.
"I think this is very important news for Fiat as they have been looking for a reliable partner to make cars in China for a while," said industry analyst Pier Luigi Bellini at IHS Global Insight.
