“One of the smoothest agreements in history.” This is how Roberto Santarelli, Federmeccanica’s chair, qualified the separate agreement for the renewal of the metalworking CCN, signed on October 15 between the Federmeccanica and Assistal employers’ federations and the Fim and Uilm unions. The separate agreement was expected for this divided negotiation opened on July 24 (see our dispatch No. 090831) in spite of the Fiom’s attempts to prevent this outcome (see our dispatch No. 090924).
