New agreement for local and regional government workers

Italy

Trade unions are positive about the new collective agreement they have negotiated for the 560000 workers in local and regional government. On top of the EUR 85 pay increase per month there are improvements for specific groups of workers including the municipal police. Additional resources are available for local bargaining and there are improvements in a range of other conditions such as holiday entitlement and sick leave. More issues will now be covered by collective bargaining, giving more responsibilities to workplace trade union reps. The result is seen as a real advance on pay, rights and bargaining, marking a decisive end to the almost 10-year freeze on negotiations in the public sector.
