Unions negotiate public sector health agreement

Italy

After central and local government, the public health agreement covering 550000 has been the next to be signed by the FP-CGIL, CISL-FP and UIL-FPL trade union federations. The unions say that the agreement includes a number of important improvements including a pay rise of up to EUR 95 (average EUR 85) a month and provisions covering leave and training. But the agreement is seen as a first step in future negotiations that will aim to compensate workers for the freeze on pay and conditions over the past 10 years.
