Waiting for a “universal collective bargaining system.” After presenting a separate platform in electricity (see our dispatch No. 090705), the Filcem-CGIL is now presenting four new claim platforms for the renewal of collective agreements in chemistry/pharmaceutical industry; energy/oil; rubber/plastic and gas/water, for a total of over 500,000 employees. The assembly of executives and union representatives (September 14-18) elected delegations for the negotiations and validated – after “thousands of meetings between late July and early September on all work site”- the platforms. The first negotiation round will be on October 6 in chemistry/pharmaceutical industry. Convinced that unions’ unity can be restored via the “content” and the “democratic relationship with workers,” for a “universal conventional system,” Alberto Morselli, Filcem leader, said that he was, nevertheless, aiming for a “unitary agreement” with the other unions.

“Defending buying power.” It is the aim of the four platforms which call for agreements valid three years and leading to average wage increases amounting to:
- €200 in energy/oil;
- €185 in gas/water;
- €172 in chemistry
