On 07 November 2019 social partners in Italy’s water and oil sector signed a draft agreement to renew the sector’s collective agreement that expired on 31 December 2018 and that covers some 48,000 workers. In it, the agreement, which is backdated to run from 01 January 2019 until 31 December 2021, intends for an overall salary increase of €106. In a sector that has been profoundly affected by both technological and regulatory change, this new agreement assigns industrial relations a significant role, as well as explicitly acknowledging a theme that has been emerging on the Italian collective bargaining landscape, namely that of worker involvement. Following on from the recent signing of the oil sector agreement renewal (c.f. article No. 11365) and that of the electricity sector (c.f. article No.11415) in the last two months, this latest agreement brings the energy/multi-utilities sector’s collective agreement renewal cycle to a close.
Salary increase. The agreement that was signed by both the employers’ bodies (Anfida, Anigas, Igas, Assogas, and Utilitalia) and the relevant trade unions (Filctem-Cgil, Femca-Cisl, and Uiltec) intends for an €84 increase in salary minima (Trattamento Economico Minimo, TEM) that would be split into three lots; €26 from December 2019, €28 from September 2020, and €30 from September 2021.
