Unions in private healthcare mobilise as negotiations are suspended

Italy

The public service federations - FP-CGIL, CISL-FP and UIL-FPL - have suspended negotiations with two private sector employer organisations in healthcare - AIOP and ARIS. The negotiations cover around 300000 workers and the unions are frustrated by the employers' refusal to ensure funding for a new collective agreement, 12 years after the last agreement was signed. The unions have also declared a state of mobilisation and have written to the President of the Conference of the Regions to alert him to the situation and to ask for an urgent meeting.

Other key demands include: avoiding split shifts, a sixth week of leave for all workers, earlier service to be taken into account, better pay for trainees and apprentices, part-time work for older workers and implementation
