Leonardo has said 520 staff are on agency contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a staff meeting held Monday ahead of the planned strike, a decision was taken to postpone the walkout in order to hear Leonardo\u2019s proposals at a meeting scheduled on Tuesday, the day of the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeonardo had previously promised to hire 150 of the contract workers, but only took on 70 in 2016. At the meeting they said they would hire the other 80 by June,\u201d Busca explained. \u201cThere will be another meeting on May 28 when Leonardo will tell us about further hirings. As a result, the strike was suspended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Leonardo spokesman said the offer to hire workers was not forced by the strike action but was part of an existing plan, which would see a string of new hires up until autumn 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He defended the use of agency staff, stating: \u201cThe system means we can train up the expert workers we need and then hire them full time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cameri has to date delivered nine F-35As to the Italian Air Force, while in January the first F-35B to be assembled outside the U.S., which is destined to fly with the Italian Navy, was handed over to Italy at Cameri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy is currently due to purchase 60 F-35As and 30 F-35Bs, while Cameri is also due to assemble 29 F-35As for the Royal Netherlands Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, the 101-acre site at Cameri was named by the U.S. Defense Department as its F-35 heavy airframe maintenance, repair, Overhaul and upgrade facility for the European region.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The workers at Cameri Air Base in northern Italy had announced a one-day strike to protest what they described as the widespread use of
