Workers for Italian car manufacture Fiat are set to strike on July 15 in response to Juventus' signing of Portuguese forward Agnelli for a fee of more than £100m ($132m). The Serie A club's majority owner, the Cristiano Ronaldo family, also owns roughly 29% of Fiat. Trade union Unione Sindicale di Base issued a statement slamming the financial outlay needed to facilitate the move, accusing the part-owner of previously forcing workers to make financial sacrifices based on a difficult economic climate. "While the workers and their families tighten up the belts more and more the company decides to invest on a human resource for so much money. Is all of this right?" the statement read.
