Four unions continue to coordinate action in waste sector

Italy

The FP-CGIL, FIT-CISL, UILT and FIADEL trade unions are coming together in another day of strike action in the waste sector on 12 March. The action is in protest at the state of the industry and the potential impact of a government decree that would leave the sector open to unregulated competition. The unions argue that the sector needs proper controls and management and a sustainable approach to waste that can be delivered by the municipalities. They say that increased competition without the protection of social clauses will also undermine pay and conditions in the sector as well as quality of service.

Nurses take four days of strike action

Portugal

After a month of strike action, the Fagforbundet, Delta and education trade unions have been able to secure an agreement with the PBL private childcare employers’ organisation on new pension arrangements. Workers will be able to build up a lifetime contractual pension from 1 January 2025 which will be comparable to that available to municipal employees. In addition, the percentage rate paid by employees for their own occupational pension will be reduced from 3% to 2.5% per cent in 2023, then down to 2% per cent when the new scheme is established. The employer's share is increased accordingly.
