Following 16 months of tense negotiations, an agreement was reached on 18 May between trade unions and employer organisations to renew the collective agreement for the gas and water sector. The renewed agreement, struck by the Anfida, Igas, Anigas, Assogas, Confindustria-Energia and Utilitalia-Confservizi employer groups and the Filctem-Cgil, Femca-Cisl and Uiltec-Uil unions, will apply to 48,000 workers at more than 600 companies. It will now be subject to consultation by workers and covers the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018, providing an overall wage increase of 89 euros over three years.
New productivity bonus. This new national collective agreement (CCN) will introduce a productivity bonus of 154 euros for both 2017 and 2018, paid in 14 installments of 11 euros per month. This will be paid in addition to existing bonuses within each company, but only if the set results targets are met. The agreement will also involve an average pay rise of 89 euros over three years. Minimum wages will be increased by 68 euros in two phases: 40 euros on 1 May 2017 and 28 euros on 1 April 2018.
