After six months of negotiations, social partners in Italy's electricity sector signed an agreement on 18 July that introduces a protocol on "the value of people in companies" into the national collective labour agreement (CCNL). The renewal of this agreement will also see a significant increase in minimum wages as well as advances on employee participation, training and new skills. Valid until 31 December 2024, the CCNL covers almost 60,000 people and now needs to be approved by employee assemblies.
Faced with the “profound transformation” of the electricity sector, as a result of the energy transition, digitalisation and technological innovation, employer and trade union organisations have recognised the growing importance of social relations in “anticipating and managing” the changes that are taking place. This approach is clear in the new collective agreement, which has been signed by the employer organisations Elettricità Futura, Utilitalia and Energia Libera, representatives of industry giants including Enel and Terna, and the Filctem-Cgil, Flaei-Cisl and Uiltec trade unions.
