Italy : energy and oil sector collective agreement renewed

On 19 September, social partners from the energy and oil sector penned a draft deal to renew their collective agreement, which expired at the end of 2018 and applies to some 35,000 workers, including those employed by industry giants ENI, Snam and Esso. The new national collective agreement (CCN), which applies retroactively from 1 January 2019 until 31 December 2021, includes a 120-euro pay rise over three years.

The agreement has been submitted to employees for approval.
