Italy's FIOM union says new models needed for full employment at FCA's Turin plant

MILAN (Reuters) - Italian metalworker union FIOM on Monday called on Fiat Chrysler (MI:FCHA) to come up with new car models to be produced in its home town of Turin to ensure the Mirafiori plant there reaches full employment.

In October Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot owner PSA (PA:PEUP) unveiled plans to create a $50 billion group, set to become the he world's No.4 automaker.

But analysts fear the merger could create a group with spare production capacity of almost six million vehicles in a slowing autos market.
