Unions meet minister over Red Cross reforms

Italy

The four union federations - Fp-Cgil, Cisl-Fp Uil-Pa and Fialp-Cisal - are hoping that a meeting with the health minister will be the first step in resolving the dispute over reorganisation of the Red Cross.

The three unions will now discuss the plans for the service and what provisions are being put in place to protect workers' pay, conditions and jobs and workers' rights in relation to mobility and potential transfer to other organisations.
