On 25 January, following more than a year of negotiations, the social partners in both the oil-energy and the electricity sectors secured draft agreements to renew their respective collective agreements that will affect a total of 90,000 workers and cover the period between 2016 and 2018. Salary increases will result in an extra €97 being paid in the oil-energy sector and €107 in the electricity sector. The texts will now be put to the respective workers. They both contain commonalities and in particular a method for incorporating inflation effects. The social partners, who are also considering appropriate strategies as regards their sector’s challenges, are looking to the possibility of a common collective agreement for 2019.
In the oil-energy sector (37,000 workers) the employers’ body Confindustria-Energia together with the Filctem-Cgil, Femca-Cisl, and Uiltec-Uil unions agreed to raise wages and in particular raise the minimum level component (€70 out of the €97 total). The increase will be paid in two parts (€35 on 01 February 2017 and €35 on 01 May 2018). Company productivity bonuses will be €20 comprising €10 over 14 months in 2017 and another €10 over 14 months in 2018. The inflation effect can alter this €20
