A new collective agreement has been signed in Italy's rubber and plastic sector, covering around 150,000 workers at more than 5,000 companies, including multinationals such as Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone and Prsymian. The main developments brought about by the agreement, which is valid until 31 December 2025, include an overall pay increase of €167 over three years, steps forward on gender equality, and measures to help vulnerable workers and to foster parenthood.
The new collective agreement, signed at the beginning of February by the employers’ organisation in the rubber and plastic sector Federazione Gomma Plastica and the Filctem-Cgil, Femca-Cisl and Uiltec unions, has just been approved by the workers’ assemblies.
