Angry Renault Employees To Protest Alpine Engine Project Shutdown At Monza Amid Strike On Friday

Title: Renault Alpine Employees Protest Against Engine Project Shutdown at Italian GP

Angry Renault F1 employees are set to launch protests at the upcoming Italian Grand Prix and initiate factory strikes, as they disagree with the company's decision to abandon its Formula 1 engine development and production at the Viry-Châtillon factory. The major decision will see Alpine become a customer team in the premier class of motorsport. Renault's exit from Formula 1 as an engine manufacturer has left the grid with one less power unit supplier, prompting dissatisfaction among employees who had invested years of hard work and passion into their engines. Despite assurances that they will be transferred to other departments, the ground reality looks different. The Social and Economic Council (CSE) expressed strong dissatisfaction with the lack of response to its repeated internal demands, leading to a planned strike potentially being ratified on September 30th. Employee representatives have initiated actions to make their voices heard, accusing management of being "deaf to any dialogue."
