With the procedures for renewing the banking sector’s collective bargaining agreement running behind schedule, the sector’s social partners agreed to extend the previous agreement from its expiry date of 31 December 2022 until 31 July 2023. The workers' assemblies have almost unanimously (99.5%) approved the trade unions’ ‘platform of demands’ so negotiations for renewing the sector’s national collective bargaining agreement (NCA) should open imminently. The NCA covers some 280,000 employees.
With workers’ assemblies having overwhelmingly approved the unions’ ‘platform of demands’, negotiations are set to be all the more complex given that Intesa Sanpaolo, the country’s leading banking group, no longer trusts the ABI (Associazione Bancaria Italiana) employers’ organization to renew the NCA, and will instead negotiate with the unions alongside the ABI.
